Indian Army hits back: Two Pakistan soldiers killed

Pakistan, it may be recalled had violated the ceasefire, as a result of which one Indian soldier was martyred. A civilian was also killed while another was injured. The soldier was martyred in unprovoked action by Pakistan. The Indian Army said that it had responded to Pakistan firing strongly and befittingly.

Pakistan Rangers on Tuesday night had fired mortar shells and small arms to target BSF positions along the International Border at the Kathua district in Jammu and Kashmir. The BSF said that it had given a befitting reply to this unprovoked action by Pakistan.
