An Army officer and three soldiers died on Saturday after the Pakistani Army violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri sector, ANI reported. Another jawan is being treated for the injuries they sustained in the strike on the 120 Infantry Brigade in Keri.
Major Moharkar Prafulla Ambadas, Lance Naik Gurmail Singh and Sepoy Pargat Singh were “grievously injured” in the “unprovoked” firing on Indian posts from across the border and succumbed to their injuries later.
The Army said the Indian side had “retaliated strongly and effectively” on Pakistani military posts.
