"In the retaliation by the Indian Army 11 Pakistan soldiers have been killed and 46 others injured in the month of June alone, there has been huge damage to their infrastructure as a large number of their bunkers have been completely destroyed", the sources said.

The sources say that the Pakistan army wants to push in terrorists into the Indian side through the line of control and hence it resorts to the unprovoked ceasefire violation to help facilitate the infiltration of the terrorists into the Indian side.

"Given the robust anti infiltration grid that is in place along the Line of Control, all their efforts are being foiled", the sources said.
