The action was undertaken on May 9 in retaliation to the mutilation of the bodies of two soldiers by Pakistan a Border Action Team in KG sector on May 1. 

The Indian Army has destroyed through massive fire assaults several Pakistani posts across the Line of Control (LoC) that were aiding in infiltration, the Army said and released a video of some of the assaults.

"As part of our counter terrorism strategy and to ensure that infiltration is curbed and initiative remains with us, the Indian Army proactively dominates the LoC," Major General A.K. Narula, Additional Director General, Public Information, said on Tuesday.

The action was undertaken on May 9 in retaliation to the mutilation of the bodies of two soldiers by Pakistan a Border Action Team (BAT) in KG sector on May 1. The Army used Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM), rocket launchers and recoilless guns, officials said.

''The Pakistani Army has been providing support to armed infiltrators by engaging our forward troops from their weapon emplacements and pill boxes closer to the LoC. At times they have not hesitated to target civilians in the proximity of the LoC," he stated.

“With snow melting, infiltration is likely to rise. Operations like the one at Naugam in Jammu and Kashmir on May 20-23, where four terrorists were neutralised on May 21, call for even more proactive Counter Terrorism operations,” he said.

Gen. Narula referred to a recent action by the Army in Naushera sector in which some Pakistan posts were damaged as part of the counter terror operations.

Pakistan in denial mode

The Pakistani Army, however, denied the claims made by the Indian Army."Indian claims of destroying Pakistani posts along LOC in Naushera Sec and firing by Pakistan Army on civilians across LOC are false," Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, official spokesperson of Pakistan Armed Forces said in a tweet.
