We always hear that there is unprovoked firing from Pakistan. Doesn't mean that we don't do the same. It's just that we don't tell it.
words like ceasefire violation & unprovoke firing has no meaning at loc......its been firing since long now......

i think , time now is to talk in plane language and start asking each other ," why you fire ."

that may give better results.....

Pakistan's continued ceasefire violation was answered in jaw breaking manner by Indian Army by using Bofors 40mm shells which is rare. The video predates to August 26, 2013 and recorded by a PoK resident at Nakyal Sector.

2 PAKISTANI SOLDIERS KILLED IN BSF RETALIATORY FIRE ON J-K BORDER


Incidents of ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops have increased sharply this year

Two Pakistani soldiers were killed in retaliatory action by the BSF on Thursday, a day after three Indian jawans were injured in unprovoked firing and shelling by Pakistani troops along the international border (IB) and the LoC in Jammu and Poonch districts of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Unprovoked firing by Pak forces on BSF posts across Jammu IB injured 3 BSF troopers (in Poonch & Jammu districts yesterday),” the Border Security Force (BSF) said in a tweet.
“Retaliatory fire by BSF killed 2 Pak soldiers,” it further said.

Pakistan rangers on Wednesday resorted to small arms firing and mortar shelling on Brahman Bella and Raipur Border out Posts (BoPs) along the IB in Pargwal sector of Akhnoor belt in Jammu district, a police officer said.

BSF troops retaliated, resulting in exchange of fire in which one BSF jawan was injured.

In another ceasefire violation, the Pakistan army resorted to firing and shelling on Indian posts along the Line of Control in Mankote, Sabjian and Digwar forward areas in Poonch since yesterday, police said, adding three civilians also suffered injuries in the heavy exchanges of fire.
This is the fourth ceasefire violation by Pakistan in the past five days.

Incidents of ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops have increased sharply this year. Till August 1, there have been 285 such actions by the Pakistan army, while in 2016, the number was significantly less at 228 for the entire year, according to figures by the Indian Army.

Lashkar militants getting 'Sniper' training from Pakistani Army

There has been a rise in the number of sniping incidents on the Line of Control (LoC) due to which over a dozen Indian soldiers have been killed this year. Sources say the Pakistan army is giving training to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants to target the Indian Army through sniping.

The Pakistani army is giving training with heavy sniper guns made in Russia and the United Kingdom inside the army establishments.

Highly placed Intelligence sources told The Tribune that the LeT had deployed teams comprising snipers on the LoC who are being assisted by the Pakistan army in selecting targets.

“The snipers are operating in buddy pairs and have been trained to engage targets in tandem so as to achieve better results,” said a source.

The Tribune is in possession of a photograph of an LeT operative, Muzammil, of Punjab province of Pakistan who is being administered training inside a Pakistani Army establishment with an official sitting behind him.

“He is being given training to operate a heavy Sniper made in the United Kingdom, which has a range of 2,000 m. The gun is a light weapon and is easy to carry. It has the calibre of 50/12.7 mm and its magazine has five rounds of capacity. Its total length is 60 inches whereas length with butt folded remains 48 inches,” a source said.

These snipers are also using Russia-made Dragnov Sniper Rifle with an effective range of 800 m, the source added.

With the kind of anti-infiltration grid put in place by the Indian Army on the LoC, especially in the Jammu region, and not even a single infiltration attempt being successful this year in this region, the Pakistani army and militant organisations across the LoC have changed the strategy and are relying on sniper guns to inflict maximum damage to the Indian Army.

So far this year, around 25 soldiers have been killed on the LoC and half of them have been killed due to the sniper firing from across the LoC.

Dealing with this changed strategy by the Pakistani army and militants has become a challenge for the Indian Army.
Pakistan has always denied having a hand in sniping and Border Action Team (BAT) actions on the LoC but this picture of an LeT operative being given training inside the Pakistan army establishment has exposed their design.

Operation Clean Up : All out offensive in Valley before winter sets in

With the winter fast approaching and the Indian Army going all out to wipe out terrorists, it has been decided that the combat operations would be doubled. The Indian Army which launched Operation Clean up has decided adopt more aggression in a bid to wipe out terrorists.

This year alone over 148 terrorists have been killed. The Army has succeeded in wiping out the top leadership of the terror groups in a number of encounters carried out in the past six months.

During the recent visit made by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to the Valley, he ordered that the operations need to be doubled. He held a series of meetings with the officials of the Armed forces and told them to clean up the remaining terrorists.

The Armed forces are undertaking operations in a tactical manner. They are first looking for the top commanders before wiping out the foot soldiers. It is important that we take down the leaders before we go after their cronies, an official informed OneIndia. There are around 5 commanders remaining while the number of foot soldiers stands at around 60, the officer also noted.

This increase in sniper activity was expected even by amateurs like us. I'm certain the experts would have known. It would be interesting to see what our strategy would be to handle this situation.
I'd say blow up their forward bases for each sniping incident successful or unsuccessful.
