Deliberate targeting of civilians unprofessional, unacceptable: COAS

ISLAMABAD: Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif held a special meeting at Corps Headquarters Rawalpindi Wednesday to review the situation at the Line of Control (LoC).

Gen. Raheel appreciated the morale of the troops and the most befitting response given by them.
