Srinagar, April 3: The Indian Army on Tuesday hit suspected launch pads in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation to ceasefire violation by Pakistan Rangers along the Line of Control (LoC). According to the Economics Times Report, the Army has been hitting terror launch pads located in Nikial, Rakhchakri, Kotli and Bhimber in PoK over the past few days. Some of these areas are used by Pakistan’s Border Action Team (BAT) against the Indian Army patrols and posts across the LoC. Seven Pakistan Posts Destroyed as Indian Army Retaliates to Ceasefire Violations.

According to the report, Pakistani facilities supporting terrorists were also hit by the Indian Army. Meanwhile, Pakistan is continuously violating ceasefire after the February 14 Pulwama Attack in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were martyred. Yesterday, Pakistan violated ceasefire in Shahpur and Kerni sectors of Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district at about 5 pm. According to reports, Pakistani Rangers resorted to shelling with mortars and firing of small arms along the LoC. It was the fifth consecutive day that Pakistan violated ceasefire in Poonch district.

On April 1 also, Pakistan had resorted to unprovoked firing in Mankote and Krishna Ghati sectors of Poonch. One Border Security Force (BSF) officer was martyred in the Pakistani firing. Meanwhile, a six-year-old girl was killed in the heavy shelling. Five security personnel and nine civilians were also injured in the ceasefire violation.
