Islamabad: Pakistan has claimed that its troops destroyed an Indian Army post in
Tatta Pani sector across the Line of Control (LoC) and killed five
soldiers.
Pakistan Army Spokesman Major General Asif Ghaffor in a
tweet late last night also shared a video clip purportedly showing
bombing of the Indian Army post and smoke billowing from the site after
it was hit by fire.
"Indian Army post on LoC targeting innocent
citizens destroyed by Pak Army troops in Tatta Pani (Hot Spring) sector.
Five Indian soldiers killed, many injured. Indian terrorism against
innocent citizens shall be responded befittingly, Ghaffor tweeted.
However, an Indian Army official in New Delhi said the Pakistan Army's claim is "baseless".
Earlier,
in a statement the Pakistan army spokesman said that India's "unethical
and unprofessional" approach across the LoC is terrorising civilians.
Pakistan
yesterday summoned India's Deputy High Commissioner J P Singh to
condemn the "unprovoked firing" by Indian troops across the LoC which
allegedly resulted in the death of a driver of a van carrying school
children.
