Four Pakistan posts across LoC destroyed by Indian troops: Army

SRINAGAR: Army today said it has destroyed four Pakistani posts in a massive assault across the Line of Control (LoC) in Keran sector of north Kashmir's Kupwara district. "Four Pakistani posts have been destroyed in a massive fire assault in Keran Sector," an army official said. Heavy casualties have been inflicted on the Pakistani side, he said, without giving further details. The firing assault comes in retaliation to ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops in the Keran sector earlier in the day, in which one BSF jawan and a civilian woman were injured. Meanwhile, intermittent exchange of fire was continuing Saturday evening in Jammu and Kathua districts where Pakistani troopers had started heavy shelling targeting civilians and BSF posts on the International Border, police said. Police said that at around 6 a.m., the Pakistan Rangers resorted to heavy mortar shelling and automatic gunfire in Hiranagar (Kathua) and R.S.Pura (Jammu) in Jammu and Kashmir and the Border Security Force (BSF) had started retaliating effectively. The shelling was continuing intermittently in both sectors but “nothing significant” was reported, police said. On Friday, heavy shelling and firing exchanges took place in Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts and on the Line of Control (LoC) in Mendhar sector (Poonch) in Jammu region and Machil (Kupwara) sector in the Kashmir Valley.
