Pakistan Army Says It Destroyed Indian Army Posts On 13 May, Releases Video To Back Its Claim
Pakistani army’s chief spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor speaks with media.
Soon after the Indian Army revealed that it had carried out punitive fire assaults on Pakistani posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor called the Indian claim ‘false’ and issued a video which he claimed showed his army shelling Indian positions after an “unprovoked ceasefire violation” on May 13.
India had, reportedly on 9 May, carried out theses assaults against Pakistan Army posts that were actively aiding and abetting cross-border infiltration and terrorism. Indian army’s chief spokesperson Major General Ashok Narula told journalists the aim of the military action was to “bring down the number of terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir so that youths are not adversely influenced by terrorists from across.”
In a rare move, the Army also released what it said was a video of the military action that showed heavy artillery blasting Pakistan Army bunkers.
However, Pakistan Army claimed that Indian shelling targeted civilian positions that resulted in casualties. Major General Ghafoor said Pakistan army’s “befitting and stern” action was in response to Indian Army’s action against “civilian positions”.
