Earlier on Sunday, armed militants had entered the Indian soil and attacked an army camp at the LoC near Uri, where 18 Indian soldiers were killed. India had strongly condemned the act of terrorism and decided to isolate Pakistan at a global level. Indian army’s Lt Gn Ranbir Singh, in an interaction with the media, had revealed the reports of the initial army investigation and said that the weapons recovered from the terrorists had Pakistani markings.

It was also reported that the Pakistani armed forces had heavily fortified their posts following the attacks, thus making India reconsider their stance of an immediate retaliation to the terror attacks.
