In a message posted on Twitter, DG ISPR Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor stated that Pak Army killed five Indian soldiers while retaliating to India’s “unprovoked” ceasefire violation in Tatta Pani sector along the LoC.
Indian bunkers were also destroyed in the firing, the ISPR stated, adding that Pakistani troops “violently responded”.
Tension over the Himalayan region has run high between the two neighbours since a Pakistani military court sentenced Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav to death for his involvement in espionage and terror activities in Balochistan and Karachi.
Kulbushan Sudhir Jadhav was arrested on March 3, 2016, in Balochistan province. India has managed to get a stay on Jadhav execution by approaching the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Pakistan and India accuse each other of repeatedly violating a 2003 ceasefire. On the diplomatic front, relations have worsened following tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats last year.
