Army said it has destroyed four Pakistani posts in a massive assault across the Line of Control (LoC) in Keran sector of Kupwara district in Jammu and Kashmir.
An army official said Saturday night that heavy casualties have been inflicted on the Pakistani side. The firing assault comes in retaliation to ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops in the Keran sector earlier in the day, in which one BSF jawan and a civilian woman were injured.
Meanwhile in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistani troops resorted to heavy firing and shelling along the international border in Samba, RS Pura and Kathua sectors today.
According to defence sources, the Pakistani rangers started unprovoked firing in these sectors in the wee hours.
The BSF troops retaliated the firing and heavy exchange of gun fire. There is no report of firing after 9 AM any casualty or injury to the Indian side.
