''UN observers probing alleged truce violations across LOC''

United Nations: UN observers in Jammu and Kashmir are investigating allegations of ceasefire violations across the Line of Control (LoC) in the state, a spokesperson for Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said. India does not recognise the UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan.

Asked at the daily briefing on Monday about the situation in Kashmir, Stephane Dujarric said: "We`ve seen the alleged ceasefire violations over the Line of Control, which are currently being investigated by the UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (Unmogip), in the Pakistani-administered side of the LoC at Domel, Kotli and Bhimber, where the security situation has, indeed, been tense."

"We continue to underline the need for the parties to find a peaceful solution through engagement and dialogue," he added.

He said that when the Unmogip presents its report on the alleged incidents, "We will share."

He ignored a reporter`s claim that India was pressuring the Unmogip not to make a report.

Last week, Guterres`s Deputy Spokesperson had categorically denied that India was blocking the Unmogip from filing reports.
