Hours after Pakistani soldiers attacked the Line of Control, killing and mutilating two Indian soldiers in an act of ceasefire violation, the Indian Army retaliated. According to an India Today report, the Indian Army destroyed two Pakistani bunkers and killed seven Pakistani soldiers.
The Northern Command of the Indian Army had earlier announced that the attack would receive a suitable response after Pakistan’s Border Action Team (BAT) had mounted an attack on India in the Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district in Jammu and Kashmir. They had set up a trap to ambush Indian troops that were patrolling the region before attacking them with rockets and mortar bombs.
Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat too was in Srinagar to assess the situation.
More details awaited.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
