Even though there is plenty of confusion due to claims and counter claims, a certain blurry picture seems to be appearing. It appears probable that Indian did try to raid across the LoC in a desperate effort to get out of the narrow alley that Modi has foolishly pushed India into. But, at the same time, it appears that Pak military was ready for such an eventuality. However, as widely expected, Indian didn't have courage to get on real surgical strike against the so-called 'terrorists camps' in Azad Kashmir as they have been threatening in the aftermath of Uri attack on Indian Army's brigade headquarters that resulted in 18 Indian soldiers got eliminated. That would have been suicidal mission for invading Indian soldiers. Rather Modi conveniently chose to conduct hollow surgical strikes on symbolic targets (i.e. the so-called terrorist launching pads at the LoC - what the heck those pads are no one really knows) under the cover of usual intense fire. And that hollow raids appear ending up in disaster with significant number of claimed Indian casualties. It is evident that Indians were not able to cross the LoC as their attacks were not only repulsed but Pak soldiers actually chased them into the other side of the LoC. However, Indians tried to exploit the very fact that they have, for the first time, tried to conduct (even hollow) raids across the LoC. That doesn't mean only Indians can do that. Pak military have better skills and resources to conduct raids deep into the occupied J&K.
The question now is how Pakistan would respond to this provocation? Had it been an air strike, an immediate response against the participating airbases and other resources was indeed warranted. However, in the case of last night's failed surgical raids, we don't necessarily need to respond in a tit-for-tat manner right now. Rather Pakistan need to choose its own time and place to hit back Indians and hard. We need to exploit the surprise factor by first keeping the enemy on its heals for some time and wait until it lowers its guards. Indian military garrisons and head quarters offer very viable targets for us to hit them where it hurts the most. In the meantime, we need to take out the places/facilities that Indians used for the launching the bogged raids of last night.
