Four Pakistani soldiers were killed in retaliatory firing by Indian forces along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Jammu and Kashmir region.

Sources said that the four Pakistani soldiers were of the Northern Light Infantry {NLI) Unit in Dewa in the Sunderbani area of Rajouri. The NLI Unit is believed to hold expertise in mountain warfare. Most of the killed jawans are from Gilgit and Baltistan areas.

In an incident from yesterday, a Pakistani soldier was killed opposite the Krishna Ghatti area of Mendhar sector last evening when the Indian jawans fired in retaliation across the LoC.

Some Pakistani posts caught fire during the firing.
