The Indian Army on Tuesday night gave Pakistan a befitting response for LoC-wide ceasefire violations, destroying five Pakistani posts and inflicting a number of casualties to the Pak Army. Five soldiers of the Indian Army were injured in the Pak firing, of which two have been evacuated to the Military Hospital. 

The response by the Indian Army comes after a frustrated Pakistan resorted to heavy shelling on a day that the Indian Air Force decimated terror camps at three locations, neutralising over 245 terrorist foot-soldiers and handlers, and avenging the dastardly Jaish-e-Mohammed-perpetrated Pulwama terror attack. 

Here is the Indian Army's statement:

Cease Fire Violation by Pak all along LoC 
On 26 Feb 2019, 1830 hours onwards out of anger and frustration; Pak initiated unprovoked Cease Fire Violation by shelling with Heavy calibre weapons in 12 to 15 places all along the LoC. Indian Army retaliated for effect and our focused fire resulted in severe  destruction to his 05 posts and number of casualties to Pak Army. Pak troops were also seen firing Mortars and Missiles from civilian houses, using villagers as human shields, however Indian Army targeted the Pak posts away from civilian localities.  In exchange of fire 05 Soldiers of Indian Army suffered minor injuries out of which 02 soldiers were evacuated to  Military Hospital for medical treatment and are stable.
