Pakistani posts destroyed by Indian Army in Naushera sector - Watch Video

New Delhi: The Indian Army, Tuesday, formally revealed that it has destroyed Pakistani Army posts in Naushera sector of Jammu and Kashmir that was giving support to infiltrators.

Army spokesperson Major Gen Ashok Narula said, "The Pakistan Army has been providing support to armed infiltrators...In recent actions in Naushera (border sector of Rajouri district), we have caused damage to Pakistan army posts."

Asked when the attacks took place, Narula said it was "recent, very recent" operation.

The Indian Army also released a video showing punitive artillery assault on a Pakistan Army post. The video showed what looked like a forested area being bombed and smoke and fire billowing up after the explosion.

"This is part of our counter-terror strategy. So that the number of terrorists (in the state) is brought down and Kashmir youth do not tread a wrong path," he said.

Major Gen Narula said that the Army was aware that there will be a rise in infiltration as the snow has started melting and mountain passes are opening - the traditional routes for militant incursions.

"The Indian Army pro-actively dominates the LoC. We want peace and tranquility in Jammu and Kashmir."

Later, news agency ANI quoted Army sources as saying that the Operation was conducted on May 9 and Rocket Launchers, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, Automated Grenade Launchers and Recoilless guns were used to pound the Pakistani posts.

The targeted attack is being seen as India's reply to Pakistan for aiding and abetting infiltrators to cross over to the Indian side.
