Pakistan again targets posts in Poonch district

Jammu, August 26
There has been no let up in the ceasefire violation, as Pakistani troops kept targeting forward posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district today, drawing strong retaliation from the Indian Army.

"Around 12.30 pm today Pakistani troops started using battalion level weapons, firing mortars and heavy automatics on our posts in Mendhar and Doda Battalion areas along the LoC in Poonch district," said a senior Army officer. "The heavy firing is still on and we are responding to them in an equal measure," he added.

Defence spokesperson, Col RK Palta, said that last night around 12.15 am Pak troops opened small arms and automatic fire, including mortars, on the Indian posts in Garhi area of Poonch sector.

"Indian troops retaliated strongly to the unprovoked firing by Pak troops. There was no casualty or injury to any of our troops in the Garhi sub-sector," Palta said.

He also informed that Pakistani troops opened indiscriminate fire from small arms and targeted civilian areas. The firing stopped around 7.30 am today, Palta added. There have been over 85 ceasefire violations by Pak troops from January 1 till date on the LoC.

Pakistan media reports had yesterday claimed that four civilians were killed and three others were injured in Indian firing in Rawalakote sector, opposite Poonch.

Meanwhile, the cross-LoC trade and travel via Chakan da Bagh in Poonch district carried on smoothly.

"So far the border skirmishes between the two armies have not cast a shadow on the trans-border trade and travel," custodian of the Chakan da Bagh Cross-LoC Trade Facilitation Center, Mohammed Bashir Lone, told The Tribune over phone.

He informed that as many as 31 Pakistan-occupied Kasmir (PoK) citizens returned to their native places in PoK today, while 41 fresh people from the area entered J&K. Lone added that nine Indian citizens returned from PoK.

"The trade via Chakan da Bagh is also going on smoothly and fresh consignments would be reaching tomorrow from Tetrinote in PoK," Lone said.

In June last year, trade and travel via Chakan da Bagh was suspended for three weeks due to heavy shelling by the Pakistani troops in the Krishna Ghati sector.

Intusion on Tape. Pakistan Army helping terrorists cross over

Pakistan's blatant lies have been caught on tape as video shows how Pakistani terrorists tried to sneak into Indian territory facilitated by the Pakistan army in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir. The army helped a group of three terrorists, carrying a bag full of arms, cross over to India.

As Pakistani army helps terrorists cross over, both of them deserve exemplary punishment. India should retaliate each time there is a breach of ceasefire with devastating spells so that they will think twice before they act. Escalate the issue if need be.

India really needs to get out of this sissy image if it is to project power in the region.

A forceful retaliation to Pakistan and China have a symbolic value and will influence the actions of other neighbors to India.

No fresh firing along LoC in Poonch

Jammu, August 28
While there has been no fresh firing by Pakistani troops in the Poonch sector for the past over 24 hours, Pakistan army has made some readjustments opposite the Saujiyan, Doda Battalion and Sarla Battalion areas along the Line of Control (LoC).

"So far, we have decimated over a dozen of their posts in the Poonch sector. Unless and until they reconcile and start honouring the ceasefire agreement in letter and in spirit, any unprovoked fire from their side would get a befitting response," he said.


"Artillery has not been used by them (Pakistan) so far. Using artillery would be flaring up the situation to a point of war," he said.

Since August 6, when Pakistan's border action team killed five Indian soldiers in the Chakan da Bagh area leading to border skirmishes, Pakistan had stopped firing for over 24 hours on August 21 followed by today.

Srinagar, August 29
Days after claiming responsibility for the killing of five Indian soldiers in the Poonch sector on August 6, the Hizbul Mujahideen has retracted from its earlier claim and said the group had no role in the killings.[/B] A local news gathering agency in Srinagar, Kashmir News Service, reported that Hizbul's Muzaffarabad-based spokesman Saleem Hashmi claimed that the troops were killed in clashes between two units of the Indian Army and that the outfit had no role in the attack.

Hizbul head and United Jehad Council chairman Syed Salahuddin more than a fortnight after the Poonch ambush had told the KNS that the border squad of the outfit had carried out the attack. The belated claim and now the retraction by the Hizbul has raised many questions. — TNS

After Poonch, Pak now opens fire in Pallanwala

Jammu, August 30

After firing at Indian posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch sector since August 6, the Pakistan army yesterday opened fire at a forward post in the Pallanwala sector of the Akhnoor subdivision, 60 km north of Jammu.

"Around 10:30 pm yesterday, Pakistani troops opened fire in the Bhadwal forward area of the Pallanwala sector, resulting in an exchange of fire till midnight," said a senior Army officer. He said Pakistani troops used small arms fire and targeted four posts.

"We gave them an effective and strong response," he said.

While the Poonch sector has not witnessed fresh firing by the Pakistan army for the past two days, firing in Pallanwala seems to be an attempt to ease off the pressure along the LoC opposite the Poonch sector, he said. The officer divulged that senior officers of the Pakistan army had conducted aerial and ground recce on the other side of the LoC opposite Poonch, Saujiyan, Mendhar and Hamirpur belts.

"Latest Intelligence inputs and our observations tell that the Pakistan army has also moved artillery opposite the Mendhar sector. While an artillery battery usually comprises six guns, they have moved two to three artillery guns opposite Mendhar," he said.

So far, Pakistan had been using battalion-level weapons viz, small arms fire and automatics, including rocket-propelled grenades and mortars (82 mm), drawing a similar response from the Indian side.

"Though the artillery has not been used by them (Pakistani troops) till now, the possibility of using it (following artillery movement opposite Mendhar) cannot be ruled out," he said.

"We are keeping a constant watch on developments unfolding on the other side," he said. After remaining quiet to unwarranted and unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops, the Indian Army is now going full throttle.

Since August 8, the Indian Army has decimated 15 Pakistani posts and several bunkers opposite the Poonch, Mendhar and Hamirpur areas by firing mortar shells, rockets and automatic weapons, including anti-material guns.

From August 8 to 14, Pakistani troops fired 900 mortars (82mm), 120 rocket-propelled grenades, 13,500 rounds of small arms fire and 6,000 rounds of automatic weapons in the Poonch, Mendhar and Balakote sectors.

The Indian Army retaliated and fired 600 mortars, 150 rockets, 22,000 rounds of small arms fire and 6,000 rounds of automatic weapons

Pak moves artillery guns to LoC opposite Mendhar

Ravi Krishnan Khajuria
Tribune News Service

Jammu, August 31
On the lines of what they did in Kargil War in 1999, the Pakistan Army has adopted an aggressive posture moving artillery guns along the Line of Control (LoC) opposite Mendhar sector in Poonch district, 230 km northwest of Jammu.

"We have observed artillery movement opposite Mendhar sector. While an artillery battery usually comprises six guns, they (Pak Army) have certainly moved two to three artillery guns opposite Mendhar," said a senior Army officer.

So far, Pakistan had been using battalion level weapons -- small arms fire and automatics, including rocket propelled grenades and mortars (82 mm) -- drawing similar response from the Indian side, he said.

Though the artillery has not been used by them till now, but possibility of using it (following artillery movement opposite Mendhar) cannot be ruled out, he said. The officer said the use of artillery amounts to war. "We are keeping a constant watch on developments unfolding on the other side and accordingly devising our strategy," he said.

Heavy shelling by Pak troops in June last year had forced India to eventually move an artillery battalion from Mendhar to the Krishna Ghati sector but it was never used. The stand-off ended only after a Brigade-commander level meeting that paved the way for the resumption of the trans-border trade and travel via Chakan-da-Bagh.

The officer also said that senior officers of the Pakistan Army in the past couple of days have conducted aerial and ground recce on the other side of the LoC opposite Poonch, Saujiyan, Mendhar and Hamirpur belts in Poonch sector.

Since August 8, the Indian Army has destroyed 15 Pakistani posts and several bunkers opposite Poonch, Mendhar and Hamirpur areas with weapons such as mortars, rocket launchers and automatic weapons, including anti-material guns.

After a week, Pakistan again violates LOC ceasefire

After a lull of nearly a week, Pakistan troops Monday again violated the ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC), opening unprovoked firing at Indian positions in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, a defence spokesman said.

The spokesman said Pakistan troops used small arms and automatic weapons to target Indian Army positions in Mendhar sector of Poonch district.

"Pakistani firing started at 1 p.m. Our troops gave a calibrated response to Pakistan fire and the firing exchange continued up to 2 p.m.", he said.

Violations of bilateral ceasefire on the LOC and the international border in Jammu and Kashmir have been seriously worrying thousands of people living close to the border.

Reports said last week many families decided to move out of their villages to escape frequent firing.

India has been accusing Pakistan of violating the ceasefire agreement signed by the two nations in November 2003.

What else other than shitty things do you expect from a crappy army?

It's not war they want.. the know they cannot win a war... if they ever come to believe of it, they will launch their Kashmir op immediately. But this is attempt to help terrorists sneak into Indian territory. Pak army will want to keep things on a low boil so that India does not escalate the conflict.

Yeah, the only way they can be forced to stop is to deliver unacceptable damage at the slightest provocation. In a way India is doing that by destroying their posts.

Pakistan does not need any outside support for creating this kind of nuisance. But they will be careful not to needle India too much because they know they are not sure how big bro china will respond if push comes to shove. History of past conflicts is not too encouraging. Plus Big Daddy US can ill afford to have their attention diverted right now from Syria.
