Pak Army officer’s little son martyred in Indian firing at LoC

In a heartbreaking and deeply emotional development, a 7-year-old boy, the only son of a senior Pakistan Army official, was martyred in a recent Indian attack near the Line of Control (LoC). This tragic incident has gripped the nation in sorrow and sparked widespread outrage against the continued cross-border aggression.

• 7-year-old martyred during shelling in Rawalakot sector

• The child was the son of a Brigadier-rank officer

• The incident occurred inside a civilian zone, not a military site

• Pakistan Army vows to respond with “full resolve”

• Nationwide prayer vigils and condolences pour in

The child, identified as Ahmed, was playing in the courtyard of his family residence in Rawalakot, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, when a mortar shell fired by Indian troops landed nearby. Despite immediate medical attention, he succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital.

Ahmed was a bright, cheerful student who had just started his summer vacation. His mother and younger sister also sustained minor injuries in the attack.

What makes this incident even more alarming is that the target was not a military site, but a residential area where families of military officials live. Pakistan has accused India of deliberately targeting civilians, calling it a war crime.

“No child should ever be a target of war,” said Pakistan Army’s official spokesperson.
“India’s aggression crossed all boundaries of humanity.”

While global attention is still limited, the incident has sparked early responses from human rights groups and a few international figures.

• Amnesty International: “Children should never become collateral damage.”

• UNICEF Pakistan: “Devastated to hear about the innocent life lost. Violence must stop.”

Diplomats from Turkey, China, and Malaysia expressed condolences and stressed the need for immediate de-escalation.

Across Pakistan, citizens have taken to social media, mosques, and community centers to express their grief. The #JusticeForAhmed hashtag trended on Twitter, with millions of Pakistanis sharing prayers and messages of solidarity.

• Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, and Peshawar saw candlelight gatherings

• Army schools observed moments of silence

• Special dua (prayer) sessions held across the country

Religious scholars condemned the attack, labeling it a crime against humanity and Islam.

“Killing a child is like killing all of humanity,” said one scholar during Friday prayers.
“May Allah grant patience to the grieving family and unite us in this painful moment.”

The Pakistan Army paid tribute to the martyred child during the morning flag ceremony. Senior officers and soldiers offered condolences, vowing to defend every inch of Pakistan’s soil and its people.

• Prime Minister: “Ahmed was a son of the nation. We will not forget.”

• DG ISPR: “This sacrifice will be remembered. The blood of our children will not go in vain.”

• Celebrities and influencers shared emotional tributes and demanded accountability.

Pakistan has made it clear: this won’t go unanswered. Diplomats are working to raise the issue at the UN Human Rights Council, and the military has been given a free hand to respond to any further aggression.

This shocking attack, which claimed the life of a 7-year-old boy, has united Pakistan in grief and anger. It is a stark reminder that innocent lives, especially children, continue to be the greatest victims of war and political disputes.
