 Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa today warned that any Indian "aggression" or "misadventure" will always get a most befitting response.

He made the remarks during his visit to the Line of Control and Working Boundary in Khuiratta and Ratta Arayan sectors, the Inter-Services Public Relations said. The army chief met local commanders, who briefed him about the ceasefire violations, specially alleged targeting of the civilian population across the LoC and WB, it said. "Our commitment to abide by the ceasefire agreement of 2003 should never be misconstrued as response limitation.
Indian aggression or any misadventure shall always get a most befitting response," Gen Bajwa said.

He directed for enhanced protective measures including construction of more community shell protection shelters for civil population. Later, he visited Combined Military Hospital in Sialkot to meet injured citizens due to recent Indian shelling, the ISPR said in a statement.

The Border Security Force (BSF) today said it has destroyed Pakistan's several firing posts, fuel and ammunition dump in a massive retaliation to the repeated ceasefire violations on the international border (IB). BSF also released video footage showing pinpoint targeting of Pakistani forces across the IB.  "BSF is giving suitable and pin pointed retaliation to unprovoked fire by Pak forces across IB  in Jammu," a BSF spokesperson said in a statement.  "At several locations, the enemy's firing positions, ammunition and fuel dump have been destroyed by precision firing of the border guarding force personnel," the spokesperson added.

12 people, including five security personnel, have been killed and over 60 others injured in Pakistani firing along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir since Thursday.
