Operation Sindoor: Three Civilians Killed In Firing By Pakistan Army Across LoC
A "proportionate" response had been made after the indiscriminate firing by Pakistan, according to the Indian Army.
Three civilians lost their lives in Jammu and Kashmir late Tuesday night as Pakistan Army resorted to arbitrary firing including Artillery shelling from posts across the Line of Control and IB opposite J&K, Indian Army said in a statement on Wednesday.
The firing happened in the hours following India's precision strikes at terror training camps - run by the Jaish-e-Mohammed and the Lashkar-e-Taiba - inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Strikes that took place at 1:44 a.m. were a retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack.
A "proportionate" response had been made after the indiscriminate firing by Pakistan, according to the Indian Army.
India had stated earlier that it has proof - material shared last month with diplomats from the United States, Russia, China, and major European nations - the Pak deep state planned the Pahalgam attack.
The Resistance Front, a branch of Pak-based Lashkar, had taken responsibility for the Pahalgam attack. At least 26 people, mostly civilians, were gunned down at a tourist hotspot.
The Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, in a first tri-services operation against Pakistan since the 1971 war, targeted and destroyed nine strikes in an overnight strike called 'Operation Sindoor'.
Indian forces targeted locations from where terror attacks against India - such as in Pahalgam last month and in J&K's Pulwama in 2019, when 40 soldiers died for their country - were being planned and directed.
The Pulwama attack was carried out by terrorists from the Jaish-e-Mohammed.
