An Army jawan (trooper), identified as Pushkar Singh was injured in forward village of Malti in Poonch District on January 13, adds Daily Excelsior. Sources said fresh tensions on the LoC have spread wave of fear and panic among the people living in villages located within shelling and firing range in twin border Districts of Poonch and Rajouri. The panic-stricken people were taking extreme precautions while venturing out of their houses as they feel that frustrated Pakistan army, which has suffered heavy losses at the hands of Indian troops, could target the civilians to inflict casualties and damages on them, said the report.

Indian Army on January 15 undertook major offensive against Pakistan to silence their guns, which were targeting forward Indian posts on the Line of Control (LoC) in Mendhar sector of Poonch District, killing seven Pakistani soldiers including an officer and critically wounding five others, reports Daily Excelsior. According to reports, five posts and four bunkers of the Pakistani army were destroyed in massive retaliatory action of the Indian troops. Sources said that Indian action against Pakistani troops, which came on the occasion of ‘Army Day’ was necessitated as the Pakistani posts continued to engage in heavy shelling in Mendhar sector targeting forward posts of the Indian Army and were also planning to strike at civilian areas, which was anticipated as the enemy was dumping large quantity of mortar shells on their side. Also, according to sources, there was hectic activity on Pakistan side of the LoC and some militants could be seen moving across with a view to infiltrate into the Indian territory with the help of Pakistani troops.

However, despite all efforts the gallant soldier succumbed to his injuries in the early hours on January 24. With this, death toll during past about one week of Pakistan shelling and firing on LoC and International Border (IB) has gone up to 13 including seven civilians and six security personnel (2 BSF and 4 Army jawans) while over 65 others have been injured.

An Army Captain and three soldiers were killed and four persons including two Army and Border Security Force (BSF) jawans (troopers) and two teenage civilians were injured in heavy ceasefire violations by Pakistan army almost across all major Sectors on the Line of Control (LoC) in the twin border Districts of Poonch and Rajouri on February 4 in which Pakistani troops also used missiles, reports Daily Excelsior. Official sources said that Pakistan army initiated unprovoked and indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatic, mortars and missiles on the LoC in Bhimber Gali sector of Rajouri District. In the firing and shelling, four Army soldiers including a Captain were martyred and another jawan was injured in Tarkundi area in BG sector of Poonch District. The Indian side retaliated effectively, leading to heavy exchanges that continued till late tonight (February 4). The killed soldiers were identified as Captian Kapil Kundu (23), Rifleman Ramavatar (28), Rifleman Subham Singh (23), and Havaldar Roshan Lal (43).Pakistan activated almost all major Sectors on the LoC in Rajouri and Poonch Districts on February4 including Sunderbani, Nowshera, Manjakote, Poonch, Mendhar and Balakote by resorting to heavy mortar shelling and firing in some of the forward areas targeting Army posts and civilian areas, adds Daily Excelsior. The Indian side retaliated at all places. Two teenagers, Shahnaz Bano (15) and Yasin (14), were injured when a mortar shell exploded close to their house in Shahpur sub sector of Poonch District in the afternoon. They were evacuated from the site of firing and shifted to hospital, where they were responding to the treatment. A BSF Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) was injured in Sunderbani sector in Rajouri District. Sources said Pakistan side was also reported to have suffered heavy losses in retaliatory shelling by the Indian troops at all the places.Since January 18, death toll in ceasefire violations by Pakistan on the LoC and International Border (IB) has gone up to 18 as 14 persons including eight civilians and six security personnel were killed during past fortnight. However, there has been no ceasefire violation on the IB in Jammu, Samba and Kathua Districts since January 22. Firing and shelling by Pakistan on the LoC has become a regular feature. There was panic among the border dwellers along LoC as Pakistan continued to target civilian areas in both Rajouri and Poonch districts. During the past several days, people were mostly confining themselves to their houses. Schools also remained closed for past several days in shelling hit areas on the LoC.

Pakistani troops again resorted to heavy shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri and Poonch Districts on February 6, reports Daily Excelsior. “There was heavy shelling by Pakistan troops along LoC in Tarkundi and Manjakote sectors this evening [February 6],” sources. The tension along the LoC has increased after a young Army Captain and three jawans (troopers) were killed in Pakistani shelling on February 4. However, there were no casualties or damage in the shelling on Indian side. Indian troops retaliated shelling at all places effectively. The Times of India adds that in the absence of any diplomatic detente, the deadly war of attrition between India and Pakistan along the 778-kilometers Line of Control (LoC) and 198- kilometers International Boundary (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir has taken a sharp turn for the worse ever since the ‘surgical strikes’ of September, 2016. There were as many as 860 ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the LoC and another 120 along the IB in 2017, the highest-ever such tally in over 15 years. The number of CFVs has already touched 241 across the LoC in the first 36 days of this year, claiming the lives of nine Indian soldiers, as per Army statistics. Army chief General Bipin Rawat said the Pakistan Army is "suffering three to four times the number of casualties compared to us" in the CFVs. Given the current mood, these long and bloody tit-for-tat fire assaults across the border, with even light artillery guns, heavy mortars and anti-tank guided missiles often coming into play from both the sides, are not going to ebb anytime soon. A day after a young captain and three soldiers were killed in heavy shelling by Pakistani forces in Rajouri district, Army vice-chief Lieutenant General Sarath Chand on February 5 warned of strong retaliatory action to avenge the losses. "That (retaliation) goes without saying. I think I don't have to say that. (Our) action will speak for itself," he said. Added another senior officer, "Pakistan is hurt more than us...that's why the Pak Army refuses to give its casualty figures to its own Parliament. We estimate 130-140 Pak soldiers were killed in our cross-border firings and tactical operations last year." But Indian soldiers have also paid a heavy price. Of the 62 who laid down their lives in J&K last year, 15 were killed in CFVs, 17 in infiltration and other incidents along the LoC and 30 in counter-terrorism operations in the hinterland.

Pakistani troops launched heavy mortar shells and fired at civilian areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri and Poonch Districts for the fourth consecutive day on February 11 while an Army jawan (trooper), injured in Pakistan shelling at Shahpur, Poonch on February 4, succumbed to his injuries on February 11 in the Military Hospital, reports Daily Excelsior.

With no let up in tension on the Line of Control (LoC) in twin border Districts of Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir, Indian Army on February 15 gave free hand to its Field Commanders on the LoC to take any steps including ‘punitive fires’ and ‘pre-emptive actions’ to tackle infiltration attempts and other kind of misadventures by Pakistani troops and militants under the cover of ceasefire violations, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said that Indian army was reported to have launched major fire assaults on the Pakistani troops along LoC especially the areas, where ‘unusual activity’ was observed to ensure that any attempt by Pakistan to push militants into the Indian side or indulge in ‘other kind of mischief’ was effectively thwarted. Indian Army has used its posts at Balnoi, Sarla, Mendhar, Laleali, Doda, Banwat, Kalal and Keran among others in Rajouri and Poonch Districts to launch coordinated fire assaults in which several Pakistani army posts have been destroyed. India has used Light Field Guns, heavy 120mm mortars and anti-tank guided missiles to target Pakistan posts where militants were reportedly given shelter for infiltration into the Indian territory. The massive action by India has forced Pakistan army to issue 35 red-alerts to its forces. Pakistan, according to sources, has now pressed panic buttons all along the LoC. “The Indian Army, with all its Commanding Officer along the LoC being given adequate freedom of action, is hammering and bleeding the Pakistan army to deny it any tactical advantage of moral ascendancy along the LoC,” sources said. Sources said the Indian Army has been inflicting heavy casualties on Pakistani troops while replying to Pakistani shelling along the LoC in the last few weeks. The Army sources claimed that a total of 20 Pakistani army personnel were killed this year while the number was 138 in 2017. If India lost 32 soldiers in ceasefire violations, infiltration and other incidents along the LoC in 2017 (another 30 laid down their lives in counter-terrorism operations in the hinterland), sources said nearly 130-140 Pakistani troopers were killed in the same year. The assessment is there are over 300 terrorists (the number could be even around 400) in and around launching pads along the LoC on Pakistan side looking for an opportunity to enter into the Indian territory. “In view of massive presence of militants along LoC, Indian troops are bracing up for “hot summer” both on LoC and hinterland and even possibility of tension defusing on the LoC also seems to be remote. “Full freedom has been given to commanders of Army posts along LoC in Jammu and Kashmir to effectively respond to any act of violence by Pakistani troops,” sources said.

Pakistan army also violated ceasefire along the LoC in Mankote area of Mendhar sector in Poonch District by resorting to mortar shelling and firing on forward Indian posts and civilian areas on February 19 night, adds Daily Excelsior. This was second ceasefire violation by Pakistan army in Poonch district in as many days. On February 18, Pakistan had violated ceasefire agreement in Khari Karmara area of Poonch. Sources said Pakistani troops fired some mortar shells and used semi-automatic and automatic weapons to target forward Indian posts and civilian areas. The Indian troops retaliated effectively, leading to exchanges that continued for some time. However, there were no reports of any casualties on the Indian side in Pakistan shelling and firing. Sources said the ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops have become a routine on the LoC in twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri. Pakistani troops were trying to push militants into the Indian territory under the cover of ceasefire violations, they added.

Pakistan army on February 27 morning resorted to heavy mortar shelling and firing in Manjakote and Balakote sectors along the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri and Poonch Districts, leading to injuries to two Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, reports Daily Excelsior. A number of houses and other structures were also damaged in the shelling. Two BSF jawans (troopers), identified as Balwinder Singh (23) and Dhana Shekhar (37) were injured when mortar shells exploded close to their posts in Balakote sector (Poonch District), near Bhimber Gali (BG) (Rajouri District).

Pakistan is reported to have suffered heavy damages and casualties (both fatal and non-fatal) in massive retaliatory action undertaken by the Indian Army on the Line of Control (LoC) across twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri, reports Daily Excelsior on February 16. Sources said that ‘minimum of seven to eight’ Pakistani posts have been hit and destroyed completely in retaliatory action by the Indian troops across Rajouri and Poonch Districts. Pakistan has suffered three to four fatal and non-fatal casualties inside the posts and the number could go up. Sources said Army has responded to ceasefire violations by Pakistan ‘more than aggressively’ causing heavy damages and casualties on their side. However, they added, since Pakistan army controls their media, the number of casualties of Pakistani troops is blacked out. “They give the figure of only civilian casualties and don’t mention about Army fatalities. Not even Pakistan Parliament is briefed on the casualties. Pakistan only lists the casualties suffered by them on Afghanistan border and blacks-out the losses faced along the Indian borders,” they added. Asserting that this strategy was being followed by Pakistan since long, sources said this was aimed at boosting morale of their troops, which was at its low. “If Pakistan would show up exact number of fatalities suffered on the Indian borders, not only their troops but the people would be shocked,” they added. “In every engagement, we have with Pakistan army, we have inflicted heavy casualties and damages on Pakistan side,” sources said, adding that retaliatory actions against Pakistan army have been necessitated to target their posts, which hit Indian civilian areas and give shelter to the terrorists to facilitate their launching into this side. As Pakistan has suffered heavy casualties across Mendhar sector, their army came out with a fake video showing destruction of the Indian post, sources. The civil administration in Mendhar today also contradicted the Pakistani claim of destruction of an Indian Army post saying no such incident has taken place in Mendhar. “No post of Indian Army has been hit at Tatta Paani in Mendhar sector or anywhere else in Rajouri and Poonch districts as claimed by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor in a video uploaded on twitter. Ghafoor’s claim is absurd. There is no truth in the claim that five Indian soldiers have been killed in destruction of the post,” sources said, adding that after suffering heavy casualties and damages, Pakistan was now resorting to absolute lies for face saving. The Army sources claimed that a total of 20 Pakistani Army personnel were killed this year while the number was 138 in 2017.

Pakistan army on March 18 directly targeted civilian population at Davitta village in Dhar Galoon area of Balakote sector in Poonch District killing five members of a family including a couple and their three children and injuring two others, reports Daily Excelsior. Five Army jawans (troopers) were also injured in the shelling and firing. Though Pakistani troops have been violating ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC) in twin border Districts of Rajouri and Poonch regularly for past over 10 months, this was a rare incident when they fired long range 120mm mortars to target the civilian houses as some of the shells fell about three to four kilometers in general area from the LoC, leading to civilian casualties, official sources said. They said the Indian side retaliated very effectively to silence the Pakistani guns.According to reports, nearly a dozen mortar shells fell inside the village while two of them exploded in the premises of the house of 35-year old Mohammad Ramzan, who was a small farmer in the village. All seven family members were seriously injured in the shell explosion, five of whom succumbed to their injuries within no time as splinters of 120mm mortar had pierced through their bodies. They were identified as Mohammad Ramzan, his 32 year old wife Malika Bi and three sons Abdul Rehman (14), Mohammad Rizwan (12) and Razaq Ramzan (7). Top officers of civil and Police administration besides large number of local people rushed to the village Davitta immediately after getting report of the casualties despite continued heavy shelling by the Pakistani troops. They evacuated the victims to local hospital, where five of them were declared as dead while two injured sisters, identified as Nazreen Kouser (11) and Mahreen Kouser (5) were referred to the District Hospital in Rajouri. Later, the injured were airlifted and admitted in the Government Medical College in Jammu.Unconfirmed reports said that five Army jawans were also injured in Pakistan shelling but there was no official confirmation. The injured have been identified as Subedar Deshbandhu, Lance Naik Gaurav Vishnak, Rifleman Budha Rai, Naik Jitender Verma and Rahul Pandey. All of them have been hospitalized and their condition was stated to be stable. An official statement issued by the Army said: “it is a serious issue of concern as Pakistan targeted innocent civilians in localities much deep inside Indian territory, almost 3 – 4 kilometers from the LoC, where there is no Army deployment or any related installation and even no Army equipment.’’ This, according to sources, showed that Pakistani troops intentionally targeted the civilian population as they were unable to inflict casualties or losses on the Indian troops. Sources said some mortar shells also landed close to nearly dozen houses at village Davitta in Balakote sector but the people had narrow escape.

Pakistani troops on October 23 violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch District with one of the shells landing inside the Brigade Headquarters in the Poonch town but causing no casualties, reports Daily Excelsior. “Pakistani troops fired rocket propelled grenades (RPG) and small arms at around 1035 hours during ceasefire violation. One round landed on a barrel type store shelter in Poonch causing it to catch fire,” Jammu-based Defence spokesman Lt Col Devender Anand said. “Initial analysis indicates caliber of 105/106 mm RCL (recoilless gun). Further details are being ascertained,” he added. Earlier in the day, when the blast was reported inside the 93rd Brigade Headquarters at Moti Mahal in Poonch, the spokesman had said that it had nothing to do with cross-border shelling from Pakistan. However, Senior Superintendent of Police, Poonch, Rajiv Pandey later told reporters that initial investigation suggested that a bomb fired from across the border landed inside the brigade headquarters of the Army causing a minor fire. Meanwhile, as Pakistan violated ceasefire, one round of 82 mm mortar landed at Jhalas in Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch District in the evening of October 23, reports Daily Excelsior. “One muffled blast around 1800 hours was misconstrued as blast in the garrison,” the spokesman said adding there was no casualty reported. “Despite repeated calls for restraint and adherence to the ceasefire understanding of 2003 for maintaining peace and tranquility, Pakistan forces have carried out 1,591 incidents of unprovoked ceasefire violations along the LoC and IB in 2018 so far,” sources said.
