The Pakistan Army on Tuesday refuted the attack on Islamabad’s posts in the Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir, which the Indian Army carried out earlier in the day.
“Indian claims of destroying Pakistani post along LOC in Naushera Sec and firing by Pak Army on civilians across LOC are false (sic),” the official spokesperson of Pakistan Armed Forces, Major General Asif Ghafoor tweeted.

Earlier in the day, the Indian Army had announced that punitive fire assaults had been undertaken across the Line of Control (LoC) to counter terrorist action from Pakistan.
In support of this, the Army also issued a video, showing Indian troops destroying the Pakistani posts in Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir, which were supporting infiltration.

Maj. Gen. Narula had stated that rocket launchers, Anti Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM), Automated Grenade Launchers (AGL) and recoilless guns were used to carry out the operation. He further said that as the snow in the Valley melts and the blockage on the passes opens, increase in infiltration will be expected.
“The Indian Army proactively dominates the LoC; we want peace and tranquility in the state of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
