UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' appeal for global ceasefire during the Covid-19 pandemic should be observed along the Line of Control (LoC), according to his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.
Replying to a question about the killing of an Indian teenager in shelling in the Poonch Sector of Jammu and Kashmir, Dujarric said, "The Secretary-General's appeal for global ceasefire is exactly that. It is global and it should be applied everywhere."
He added that he didn't get any updates about the situation there from the United Nations' Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan which monitors the situation along LoC.
Gulfaraz, 16, was killed in the shelling on Thursday in the Mankote area, while Zaffer Iqbal, 35, was injured and was taken to the hospital, according to reports.
