New Delhi : Senior officials have confirmed to NDTV that around 10 soldiers of the Army, possibly a Special Forces Unit, crossed the Line of Control in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday night and killed three Pakistani soldiers. The strike follows the killing of four Indian soldiers including a Major by a Border Action Team of the Pakistan Army in Rajouri on Saturday, said sources.
Sources have describe it as a "localised tactical level operation" by a local Army commander deployed in the region.
They do not use "surgical strike" to describe the operation, which targeted a specific Pakistani post.
