The Indian Army on Wednesday rejected the claims of the Pakistani Army that it struck Indian posts along the Line of Control (LoC) on May 13.
Senior Indian Army officers also pointed three serious lacunae in the Pakistani video released to substantiate their claim. On Tuesday, the Army announced that it had launched “punitive fire assaults” on May 9 and destroyed several Pakistani posts which were aiding terrorists in infiltration and released a video as proof.
In response, the Pakistani Army released a counter video at the end of day claiming that they had done similar assaults on Indian posts on May 13 from the Bhimber sector in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). “In the Naushera sector, which faces the Bhimber sector in PoK, where they claim this occurred, we have hardened concrete bunkers. So the impact on it would be different. Based on the impact in the video it does not seem to be a concrete bunker,” a senior officer said.
The second issue the officer pointed was that the burst and impact of the fire was not clear.
“Normally the point of impact of a shell is seen, so there is concern that it was blown by them from within low,” he stated.
The third aspect which proves that the incident did not occur on May 13 according to the officer was that there was no unusual movement along the LoC or any casualties on our side.
