No pinpoint strikes on suspected terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) were carried out by the India military, top government sources said on Thursday.
The Indian Army stated that there was no such action taken by the force in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Air Force, too, denied carrying out any surgical strikes in POK.
Soon after the reports that India was carrying out “pinpoint strikes” on suspected terror launch pads inside POK came out, the Indian military clarified that no such action had been taken so far and the reports were inaccurate.
Media reports had appeared that India carried out strikes in response to Pakistan’s efforts to push maximum number of terrorists into India before the onset of harsh winters.
The media reports stated that the ‘deep state’ in Pakistan has tried to strike a fine balance between escaping scrutiny by global anti-terror watchdog FATF and supporting terror at the same time with an aim to fuel unrest in Jammu and Kashmir.
Media reports, that were refuted, quoted sources saying that intelligence-based targeted strikes were being conducted by the Indian Army to neutralise mostly Pakistani and foreign terrorists, and the collateral damage had been very negligible in these operations.
