Pakistan’s military media wing – ISPR said Indian troops used artillery and heavy mortars in the Sharda, Dhudnial and Shahkot Sectors along the LOC and intentionally attacked civilian population in Bessan Wali and Chhari villages.
The Indian Army’s heavy artillery assault on terror launch pads at Dudhnial facing the Keran sector across the Line of Control killed eight terrorists and 15 Pakistan Army soldiers, HT quoted some unnamed sources in the Indian defense establishment.
A senior intelligence official also reportedly told HT that it was not a coincidence that ceasefire violations are being reported from Balakote and Mendhar sectors, firing mortars along LoC. “The situation along the LoC is very hot right now as we speak,” he said.
The EurAsian Times cannot independently verify this story.
