Situation calmer after warning to Pak Army: Indian Army

Indian Army has on Wednesday said that the situation along the Line of Control is “relatively calm” after a warning was issued to the Pakistan Army.

“Post our warning to Pakistan Army not to target civilian areas, the overall situation along the LoC remains relatively calm. In the last 24 hours, the Pakistan Army resorted to intense and unprovoked firing with heavy caliber weapons in selected areas of Krishna Ghati and Sunderbani.  The same was effectively retaliated by the Indian Army. There have been no casualties on the Indian side,” the Army was quoted as saying by a news agency.  

“We would like to reiterate that, as a professional Army, we are committed to avoiding civil casualties, especially along the LoC. All actions taken by our defence forces are targeted at counter terrorism and terrorist infrastructure, away from civilian areas, to avoid civilian casualties,” the Army said.
