Army kills six Pak jawans, 1 officer in attack on LoC

The Army killed seven Pakistan Army soldiers, including an officer, and wounded four others in a tactical attack on the LoC in Jammu’s Poonch on early Monday.

The causalities took place at Jandrote in Kotli sector of PoK. The soldiers belonged to the 642 Mujadheen battalion of Pakistan, responsible for ceasefire violations and targeting of civilian areas.

Pakistan media reports quoting the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) admitted that four of their soldiers were killed in the Indian fire.

This came two days after Pakistan killed a Lance Naik when it resorted to heavy firing in Jammu’s Rajouri.

This is the second time in the last 20 days when the Indian Army has launched a punitive action to avenge the killing of its soldiers.

On December 25, Indian Army troops crossed the LoC and killed three Pakistani Army men in Poonch. The action had come two days after Pakistan killed four Indian Army soldiers, including a Major from Maharashtra, in Rajouri.
