New Delhi:
The Army has retaliated to speculative firing on some Indian posts by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday night, military sources told NDTV.
The security forces “effectively responded” to the Pakistan Army, they said, adding that there were no casualties.
“There were small arm firing incidents at some places across the LoC initiated by Pakistan last night. The firing was effectively responded to,” sources said.
The exchange of fire took place days after a terror attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam sparked a new crisis between the two neighbours.
India has hit Pakistan with a series of strict measures, including expulsion of Pakistani military attaches, suspension of the over six-decade-old Indus Water Treaty and immediate shutting down of the Attari land-transit post, in view of the “cross-border links” to Tuesday’s Pahalgam terror attack, that left 26 people, including a Nepali national, dead.
