Srinagar: Indian Forces have destroyed at least four Pakistani posts and inflicted heavy casualties on Pakistani troops in the Keran sector along the Line of Control, army said on Saturday. "Heavy casualties (among Pakistani soldiers) were inflicted in this assault," said a statement issued by the Northern Command based in Udhampur
According to reports, the casualties on Pakistani side could be up to 20, in what the Indian Army said was a "massive fire assault". The Indian forces retaliated after Pak Rangers violated ceasefire repeatedly in Kathua and RS Pura sector along the International Border on Saturday. A Border Security Force (BSF) soldier was killed in Pakistani firing in Machil sector


Pakistan forces have been targeting Indian posts in multiple ceasefire violations since India carried out surgical strikes and destroyed seven staging areas for terrorists in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir in September


Four army and three BSF personnel have died in the last one month. At least 4 civilians in border villages have also been killed and several others have been injured in Pak firing. Areas near the border have been put on high alert
In retaliation, 15 Pakistani soldiers have been killed in the past one week, the BSF said on Friday.

An Indian soldier was also killed on Friday and his body was mutilated by terrorists in an attack near the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir. The army had said "the incident will be responded to appropriately", adding the attackers had fled into Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir "under the cover of heavy firing by Pakistan army".
Sepoy Mandeep Singh served in Sikh regiment which he had joined in 2008 and was currently posted with the 17 Rashtriya Rifles

After the attack, the Indian Army hit back in Keran, Kupawara, Tangdhar and Mendhar sectors. Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that security forces were giving a befitting reply to the firing from Pakistan


Sources said Shahbaz Sharif, brother of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, on Friday, had visited villages along the International Border that have been pounded by Indian forces, to take stock of the damage


Amid the escalation in hostilities, the BSF has said that it will neither send nor receive sweets from Pak rangers at Wagah Border tomorrow on Diwali
