4 soldiers injured in Pak shelling in Akhnoor, but no infiltration bid: Army
PUBLISHED ON JAN 20, 2021 08:33 PM IST
Four troopers have been injured on the intervening night time of Tuesday and Wednesday when a Pakistani shell exploded in Akhnoor sector of Jammu district, the Army stated Wednesday.
However, the Army denied reports in a section of the media that there was a significant infiltration bid within the Keri Battal sector in Akhnoor on the intervening night time of Monday and Tuesday through which three militants have been killed.
“There is no official version of an infiltration bid foiled in Akhnoor. Everyone is playing his own game. The army has not given any statement,” Udhampur-based Defence spokesman Col Abhinav Navneet stated referring to some media reports.
“It is true that four jawans were injured in a ceasefire violation. They were evacuated to Command Hospital in Udhampur and are stable. However, reports of an infiltration bid being foiled and three militants killed are not true,” he stated.
A police officer in Akhnoor additionally substantiated the military’s claims and stated that 4 troopers have been injured in a ceasefire violation when a two-inch mortar from across the Line of Control (LoC) exploded close to them. “Our soldiers also retaliated to the enemy fire,” he stated.
The officer additionally stated that he had no reports with him of a significant infiltration bid being foiled and three militants killed within the firefight.
“Since no bodies have been recovered, how could we say that three militants have been gunned down?” he added.
