NEW DELHI: Two Pakistani soldiers were killed in retaliatory fire by the Indian Army in Tangdhar of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Tuesday. The Army was responding to a ceasefire violation by Pakistan.

“In retaliatory action to unprovoked ceasefire violations and repeated attempts to facilitate infiltration by Pakistan army in Tangdhar sector, own troops carried out calibrated operations last night in which two Pakistani soldiers were killed,” Rajesh Kalia, a defence spokesperson based in Srinagar, said.

The soldiers manning these posts returned the fire effectively, Kalia added.
