The body of one of the soldiers was found tortured and mutilated. Reacting to the incident, the Indian Army has warned Pakistan of strong retribution.
There have been a whopping 286 incidents of firing and shelling along the LoC and the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir by Pakistani troops that have resulted in the death of 26 people, including 14 security personnel, since the surgical strike on terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on 29 September.
This attack comes a couple of days after Pakistan Army chief General Raheel Sharif claimed that his unit is equally ready to indulge in conventional war. Beheading soldiers, it seems, is Pakistan’s way of fighting a conventional war.
According to Times Now, heavy firing is currently underway in the Machil sector of Jammu & Kashmir.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
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.
