Pak rejects India’s claims of destroying its posts along LoC

New Delhi, May 23

The Pakistan Army on Tuesday rejected India’s claim of attacking its posts near Line of Control.

“Indian claims of destroying Pakistani post along LOC in Naushera Sec and firing by Pak Army on civilians across LOC are false (sic),” the official spokesperson of Pakistan Armed Forces, Major General Asif Ghafoor tweeted.

Earlier in the day, the Indian Army said punitive fire assaults were being undertaken across the Line of Control (LoC) to counter terrorist action from Pakistan.

In support of this, the Army also issued a video, showing Indian troops destroying the Pakistani posts in Naushera sector of Jammu and Kashmir, which is said to have been conducted on May 9.

In recent days, the ceasefire violation along the LoC by Pakistan has increased considerably.

On May 14, the Pakistan Army initiated indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics, 82 mm and 120 mm mortars along the LoC in Chiti Bakri area of Rajouri sector in Jammu and Kashmir.

On May 13, Pakistani troops pounded civilian areas and forward posts in Naushera area with mortars, killing two civilians and injuring three.

The firing and shelling from across the border has affected over 10,000 people. — ANI
