Indian Army carries out punitive fire assaults on Pak posts across LoC


Srinagar, May 23 (Agencies) : The Indian Army on Tuesday released a video showing its forces destroying Pakistani posts across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir.

In a statement, the Army said it had carried out ‘punitive fire assaults’ on these posts on May 9 to stop infiltration.

"Army has inflicted damage to post across LoC in Nowshera sector in response to firing by Pakistan," Additional Director General Public Information Maj Gen Ashok Narula said.


Locations aiding infiltration of terrorists are being targeted and destroyed, he added.

"As part of our anti-terror strategy, punitive fire assaults are carried out from time to time. Pakistani posts actively help infiltration," said an Army officer according to NDTV.

Rocket launchers, anti-tank guided missiles, automated grenade launchers and recoilless guns were used to carry out the operation.

The Army, in a global message, has clearly indicated that if Pakistan attempts to push infiltrators across the Line of Control (LoC), strong action will be taken.

Unlike the surgical strikes of last September when the Army crossed the LoC to target terrorist camps in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), Indian soldiers in this case fired mortar shells from their side of the border. Bunker busting guns and anti-tank guided munitions were used in the attack, the report said.

    India should destroy more and more pak posts so that they continue to deny and we continue to destroy them. Such actions should continue no Kadi ninda.

    HENRY
    1 thing observe in your comments since long back that, u hate BJP and RSS, but when it come to question of national interest always u are supporting INDIA.

    Appreciated as every one have right to oppose a party but not country.

    people are openly supporting Pakistan, which is bad practice even after living in India.

    No Indian has doubt about Indian army's extraordinary capabilities. It's BJP who is stretching it to the extent by saying those who do not believe are against the army just to snub their critics. But in reality Indians have very strong doubt about BJP claiming undue credit whether the event actually took place or no and when. Not seen this type of attitude of the ruling party in 70 years and this trash talk about loyalty.

    Pakis denied - 1) they lost in 1971 war 2) defeated in Kargil by India 3) infiltration by their terrorists into India 4) mutiliation of indian soldiers by them 5) surgical strike by India 6) now the destruction of their bunkers by Indian Army. So now even if Indian Armed forces cut off Baloochistan and Gilgit Baltistan from Pak, they will deny it and will say they gave Indpendence to these two countries on their own. Pak u keep going, Indian Army will do the needful at the time and place of our choice.

    Royal salute to Indian army. Really sorry for the brave men at border fighting both enemy outside and inside. The brave hearts are forced to video record their action to prove the surgical strike, just because inside enemy are asking for evidence. No wonder if these inside so called intellectuals fools now call the video as "Doctored" or may cry hoarse as human right violation! Their sister Mrs. AR might have already sketching the plan as it is cottage industry for her and people like her.Please do not politicise our armed force. They delivered and proved their mettle during PM Indira/Shastriji and can repeat the same Victory saga now under PM Modi too, if allowed to act FREELY and not disturbed by unruly illogical comments and barriers....

    According to latest Times of India report, the Govt. endorsed and appreciated Army action across LoC, which means the Army has a freehand in dealing with the situation. Why you people necessarily politicize such a sensitive issue?

    Dear friend..Modi is not fighting ..but Modi's leadership is giving freedom to Army to fight..We can see it from Army's body language..They are pumped up. with confidence..It did not happen before...Modi's leadership made Lawyer Mr.Salve to defend Kulbushan Jadhav in International court..where as Pak Lawyer who charged Rs.40 cr lost..!! Interestingly, Congress hired same Pakistani Lawyer to argue for India in Dhobal Case.. Congress trusted Pakistani instead of Indian Lawyer..That is why Modi is always Great..He loves INDIA...
