The Indian Army dismissed reports of ceasefire violations in the Poonch sector after the Army responded to unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir. It is clarified that there has been no ceasefire violation along the Line of Control," the force stated, as per news agency ANI.
PTI news agency had quoted official sources as saying that the exchange of fire across the LoC for about 15 minutes did not involve any causalities on the Indian side.
The Army had recently neutralised two terrorists who were trying to sneak in from across the LoC in a different anti-terror operation.
The operation, "Operation ShivShakti," was conceived on the basis of precise intelligence inputs collected by the intelligence units of the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP).
The White Knight Corps stated that wakeful troops confronted the infiltrators with accuracy, thwarting their infiltration bid. Officials confirmed the recovery of three weapons from the area.
In a post on X, White Knight Corps had stated:”#OPERATION SHIVSHAKTI - In a successful anti-infiltration operation, alert troops of the #IndianArmy eliminated two terrorists attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control. Swift action and accurate firepower thwarted the nefarious designs. Three weapons have been recovered. Synergistic and synchronised intelligence inputs from own intelligence units and #JKP led to a successful operation. Operation in progress.”
The officials attributed the timely detection and neutralization of the threat to the collective effort of the Army and the JKP. The operation introduced an additional layer of security beef-up along the sensitive LoC corridor.
