Meanwhile in Rebon area of South Kashmir's Shopian district security forces gunned down five dreaded terrorists.

Meanwhile, Pakistan violated ceasefire in at least four different sectors across three districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
"The Pakistan army violated ceasefire along the line of control first in the Shahpur Kerni and Qasba sectors of Poonch district. Then they violated the ceasefire in the Uri sector of Baramulla district and then Keran sector of Kupwara district. The Indian Army retaliated to the ceasefire violation effectively" a senior army officer said.
He said that with the dwindling number of terrorists in the Kashmir valley, Pakistan wants to push in terrorists in the valley in the garb of ceasfire violation.
"What else could explain the fact that on the day when we eliminated five terrorists, Pakistan violated the ceasefire violation at four different places, it shows their frustration that they want to push in terrorists into the Indian side, but we are foiling their nefarious designs" the officer said.
