Pakistani soldiers waved a white flag as they emerged against the silhouette of a grassy knoll to retrieve the bodies of their colleagues, who were shot dead by Indian soldiers in retaliation to ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC), sources said.

The white flag signifies a non-hostile intention and a message to the Indian side to refrain from retaliation while the Pakistani soldiers take back the two bodies, which lay on a clearing of the foothill at Hajipur sector in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).

On September 10, a Pakistani soldier, Sepoy Ghulam Rasool, was shot dead by the Indian Army after Pakistan violated the ceasefire. The Pakistani side then started concentrated firing in an attempt to retrieve the body. However, another soldier fell to Indian retaliation in that fierce engagement.
