TEHRAN, February 16 -The Pakistani army says it has targeted and destroyed an Indian military post in the disputed region of Kashmir, killing five soldiers stationed there in retaliation against alleged Indian sniper fire that killed a civilian.
TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) -The Pakistani army says it has targeted and destroyed an Indian military post in the disputed region of Kashmir, killing five soldiers stationed there in retaliation against alleged Indian sniper fire that killed a civilian.
According to statements on Friday by Pakistan’s Army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor and other authorities, an Indian military post near the village of Tatta Pani was “destroyed” late Thursday after sniper fire earlier in the day targeted a school van carrying children in the Pakistani side of Kashmir, killing the driver and traumatizing the student passengers.
Ghafoor warned that Pakistani forces would continue to respond to “Indian terrorism against innocent citizens.”
The Indian army on Thursday denied that its forces had violated a cease-fire deal in place since 2003.
Pakistan also said that the gunfire targeted the school vehicle days after India alleged that gunmen from a Pakistan-based militant group staged an assault on an army camp in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
During the attack last Saturday, armed assailants stormed India’s Sunjuwan army camp and engaged the soldiers stationed there, killing five troops and one civilian living in the military installation as part of the community of relatives of army personnel.
