You should read it carefully; it just reports of a small-scale skirmish in which 1 Pakistani soldier was martyred. We never denied Indian soldiers may have crossed 1 km into Pakistani side; this is actually very common for both forces during skirmishes.
That BBC report contradicts almost everything what Indians claimed and leaned towards our official statements. Let me quote stuff from the report.
Despite the use of the term "surgical strikes", the Indians definitely did not airdrop commandos to hit "launching pads of militants" inside Pakistani-held territory, or conduct ground assaults deep into the Pakistan-administered side. But they did cross the Line of Control (LoC), in some cases by more than a kilometre, to hit nearby Pakistani border posts.
A similar advance by the Indians in the Dudhnial area of Neelum valley further north was beaten back by the Pakistanis. At least one Pakistani soldier was injured - reports of a dead soldier could not be independently verified by the BBC.
Indian troops could not have hit a target and returned alive as the climb required was too steep, officials said. Nor could helicopters have been used to drop special forces given the difficult terrain and because Pakistan would have shot down the aircraft.
Despite the claims in the Indian media, the BBC could find little evidence that militants had been hit.
This highly contradicts Indian claims in which Indian Special Forces were airdropped via helicopters; deep within Pakistani territory - destroying 'terror launch pads', 'killing dozens of militants and Pakistani soldiers' and other baseless claims.
