Ceasefire violation: Pakistan Army moves forward despite India’s strong retaliation

The troops have crossed several posts, which are normally manned by Pakistani Rangers

Jammu: After India’s strong retaliation regarding the ceasefire violation, Pakistan Army has been moving forward along the international border and Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, according to television reports.

Earlier, Pakistan continued ceasefire violations along the international border (IB) on Thursday targeting 13 border outposts of the Border Security Force (BSF) in Samba sector of Jammu and Kashmir and hurling mortars, nine of which landed on the Indian side, injuring one BSF jawan and a civilian, and drawing sharp retaliatory action from India.

The fresh firing by Pakistan came after the BSF destroyed a major launching pad of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba terrorists located in a makeshift school near the Abhail Dogra post in Pakistan and also killed five Pakistan Rangers in heavy retaliatory fire on Wednesday.

The total death count of Pakistani Rangers has gone up to five since Wednesday, evoking a sharp reaction from Islamabad, which is pulling all strings to ask New Delhi to “rein in” the BSF. However, the directive conveyed by the Narendra Modi government to the border guarding forces is clear, “there will be no talks, only heavy retaliation, till ceasefire violations continue”.
