Pakistan violated ceasefire on Tuesday as they resorted to heavy shelling at more than 10 places along the Line of Control (LoC), leaving five Indian Army personnel injured.
Ceasefire violation has also been reported in Uri sector of Baramulla, district. Gunfights broke out at Baramulla, Poonch.
The Indian Army retaliated in a befitting manner and destroyed five forward posts of Pakistan in Rajouri and Poonch districts.
Pakistani troops were seen firing mortars and missiles from civilian houses, using villagers as human shields. However, the Indian Army targeted Pakistani posts away from civilian localities, the Army said.
The shelling began hours after India carried out preemptive, non-military action on the biggest Jaish-e-Mohammed training camp located in Balakot in Pakistan. Many JeM leaders and trainers were eliminated in the strike.
Although details have not been revealed by the government, reports say that in the wee hours of Tuesday, a group of Mirage 2000 Indian fighter jets struck a major terrorist camp across the LoC and completely destroyed it. The strikes took place in Balakot, 40 km from Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
