New Delhi:
India conducted hugely successful surgical strikes in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), killing 38 terrorists and 2 Pakistani soldiers on Wednesday night.
The strikes were carried out on terrorist launchpads in POK, located nearly 2-3 Km across Line of Control (LOC). India has been suffering from terrorist violence since decades and was severely rattled after the Uri attacks which witnessed martyrdom of 18 Indian soldiers. The attacks had aroused huge anger in the country and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had claimed that the Uri attackers will not go unpunished at any cost.
These surgical strikes are India's answer to Pakistan's interference in Jammu and Kashmir and its support of terror groups which aspire to destabilize our country. Presently, Indian army is preparing itself against retaliation from Pakistan army and terror groups based on Pak soil.The Pakistani media, however has denied that surgical strikes took place inside POK and has instead termed the strikes as regular border skirmish and firing by Indian armed forces.
