New Delhi: A group of five Army commandos crossed the LoC in Poonch sector of J&K and killed three Pakistani soldiers and smashed a post, in a swift and daring operation on Monday evening.
The operation, which brought back memories of last year’s surgical strikes, is seen as avenging the killing of four Indian Army personnel by a Border Action Team of the Pakistan Army in Keri sector Rajouri district three days ago.
There were reports that the number of casualty was four but sources maintained that three were killed.

Army sources said the “small group” of ‘Ghatak’ commandos carried out a tactical level selective targeting of the Pakistani post around 200-300 metres across the LoC in which three Pakistani soldiers were killed and one was injured.
The operation began around 6 pm and the team returned safely to their camp within 45 minutes.
