The Indian Army has released a video of a Pakistani base destroyed in its firing in Akhnoor sector of Jammu and Kashmir. The action by the Indian Army came in retaliation to the repeated ceasefire violations by Pakistan, ANI has reported.
In the video, a flag of Pakistan has been shown tied upside down. According to a defence source cited in the report, Pakistan has put the country’s flag upside down inside their base in Akhnoor sector, that was destroyed by the Indian Army two days ago.
The report further cited Army sources as saying that an upside down flag is an SOS signal indicating extreme danger or distress.

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.
