Pakistan army has had to face the consequences of its audacity to cross the Line of Control. A Pakistani soldier crossing the LoC in the Keran sector of Kupwara was gunned down by alert Indian soldiers. Major General AS Pandharkar (GOC 28 Infantry Division) said that this infiltration attempt is in complete violation of the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan in February 2021. He said, Pakistan infamous Border Action Team (BAT) showed audacity to cross the LoC in an ambush on Saturday night in Keran sector. But the Indian Army personnel, ready for the nefarious antics of Pakistan, acted immediately and killed a terrorist (Pakistani citizen).
