The thickly populated civilian areas on the other side of the line of control namely Hajira, Bandi, Gopalpur, Nikial, Samani and Khuiratta were not targeted in the retaliatory firing.
The Indian army gave a ‘befitting’ reply to Pakistan army on Monday by targeting one of their administrative headquarters across the line of control in Hajira general area opposite Poonch sector.
According to media reports, the Pak army suffered heavy damages in the area. Several forward posts and terror training camps and launch pads may have suffered damages in ‘retaliatory‘ fire.
There was, however, no confirmation from ground zero about the exact nature of damages.
Several army personnel were present inside the building at the time of the ‘punitive’ strike carried out by the Indian army.
According to local reports from Poonch, “residents of border villages reported that they could see smoke emanating from the Pakistan army’s administrative unit headquarter’s.
The retaliatory strike was carried out by the Indian army, six days after the Brigade headquarters of the Indian army in Poonch was targeted by the Pak army on October 23, 2018.
