Seven Pakistani soldiers were killed and four others were injured in ‘retaliatory action’ along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, the Indian Army said on Monday.
Earlier in the day, army chief Gen Bipin Rawat said his force will not let anti-India activities succeed at any cost in Jammu and Kashmir and warned of stronger reaction against Pakistan-supported terrorism.
Addressing Armymen on the occasion of Army Day, Gen Rawat also said that disputes along the Line of Actual Control in northern border (China) were continuing and transgressions were taking place and “We are working to stop them”.
“Pakistan Army has been continuously trying to help terrorists sneak into India along LoC (Line of Control) in J&K. We are using our might to teach them a lesson,” he said.
