Five Indian soldiers have been killed in an attack by Pak troops on Indian post along the Line of Control in the Poonch sector in Jammu and Kashmir late last night. Those killed include One JCO and four soldiers. One jawan was also injured in the attack.
Defence sources today said the Pakistani soldiers intruded into the Indian territory past midnight and ambushed the Sarla post on the Indian side of the LoC.
Army Chief Gen Bikram Singh is taking stock of the situation. The attack comes in the backdrop of recent initiatives to resume Indo-Pak dialogue process.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted,
these incidents don't help efforts to normalise or even improve relations with Pak and call in to question the Pak Government's recent overtures.
