New Delhi: India has mounted a strong counter-attack on Pakistan for its incessant ceasefire violations along the line of control after the Pulwama terrorist attack and India's Balakot air strikes.
Ceasefire violations along the border have become more aggressive and bloodier, and there have been over 100 ceasefire violations along the LoC in the first three weeks of March alone.
The Indian forces have lost three soldiers in the past one week in cross-border firing, while in retaliatory firing, around a dozen Pakistan soldiers have been killed. Earlier, four civilians, including three members of a family, were killed in firing by Pakistan.
Pakistan has increased its ceasefire violations along the line of control (LoC) after the air strikes by the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Jaish-e-Mohammed’s (JeM) training camp at Balakot in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The air strikes were launched to avenge the February 14 Pulwama attack that killed over 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans.
