Indian claims of destroying Pakistani post along LOC in Naushera Sec and firing by Pak Army on civilians across LOC are false.
According to an ISPR statement, "On the contrary, Indian Army resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation including heavy mortar and artillery fire on civil population in Bhimber Sector on 13 May which resulted in civilian casualties and damages to civil infrastructure".
In wake of Indian aggression, a befitting and stern response was mounted on Indian posts causing substantial losses to military men and material (video clip 13 May Nowshera Sector), it added.
"Notwithstanding, desire to maintain peace and tranquillity along the LOC, Pakistan Army remains undeterred and any misadventure by Indian Army would be responded with even greater force and strength," the statement concluded.
