some unconfirmed news updates
We have made the opposing side vacate more points along Uri-Tangdhar and now operations are ongoing along Poonch-Mendhar to 'modify' the 'tactical' situation so that we can better dominate the area. Reports of few local unit level incursions into POJ&K to 'incentivize' vacation of forward posts by Pakistan Army, are being received. Details not clear, sorry.
Casualties on Pakistani side are reported to have been heavy, a spike in official reporting will be seen in next week, seeing the trend. Own casualties are reportedly 1 KIA plus couple lightly wounded with at least one seriously injured. Not sure about the exact figures, but relatively light keeping in mind the magnitude and scope of operations. Ingress were well executed and exfil was always to be a hot issue.

...Seems they want to bypass Hajipir and than circle it from behind with better ground positions.
... From the axis which you posted, it becomes very clear that they want to push the LOC further west while the Hajipir bulge stays. Once we make it deeper, we can cut it off completely. Most likely moving forward on Uri-Tangdhar and Poonch-Mendhar axis will force Pakistan to vacate that area on their own.
...Please see the map below. The arrows show the thrust axis as stated by you. The arrows around HAJIPIR show what happens to that area if we advance along Uri-Tangdhar and Poonch-Mendhar. It cuts out all the bulges which are along the LOC and after that the hills are at lower elevation. This will help us dominate the entire front right upto the actual old border of J&K state which used to overlook Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
