Pakistani troops violated ceasefire by firing two rounds of rocket launchers towards an Army camp along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Krishna Ghati sector in Poonch District on February 5, reports Daily Excelsior. However, Indian troops didn’t retaliate as there were huge processions of civilians passing close to the LoC on Pakistan side on the occasion of ‘Solidarity Day’ in Pakistan.Official sources confirmed that timing of targeting Indian Army camps and posts by the Pakistani troops was deliberately chosen when the processions by the civilians were crossing Pakistan side of the LoC as retaliation by the Indian side would have led to civilian casualties giving Pakistan a chance to blame India for civilian killings. Sources said, “As soon as processions started in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) across Poonch districts on the occasion of ‘Solidarity Day’, Pakistan army fired two rockets targeting forward posts of Indian troops in Jhallas in Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district and simultaneously resorted to heavy mortar shelling and firing in civilian areas of Jhallas and Digwar.Sources also said the rockets launched by the Pakistan army aiming Army camps and posts failed to hit the targets and exploded harmlessly.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets on February 27 repulsed major Pakistan Air Force (PAF) attempt to cause extensive damage on Indian troops positions or infrastructure by shooting down PAF’s F-16 fighter aircraft and forcing others to beat the hasty retreat in Rajouri and Poonch sectors in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior. However, in the process, IAF lost fighter MiG-21 Bison jet, whose pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman ejected in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and was held captive by the Pakistan Army. According to sources, three Pakistani jets violated Indian air space, the package of the aircrafts deployed by PAF for the operation was “significantly large” as it comprised a fleet of JF-17 and F-16 combat aircrafts. The Pakistani jets targeted the Indian Army bases in Krishna Ghati and Nangi Tekri in Poonch district and an ammunition point at Narian in Nowshera sector of Rajouri District, sources added. Sources also revealed that the PAF jets had an Indian Army Brigade Headquarters and an ammunition point as their target when they dropped three non-guided bombs on them but missed the target with significant distance. Images from the site of exploded ordnance revealed shallow craters in grassy knolls. Minutes after Pakistani jets violated the Indian air space, the IAF’s MiG-21 and Sukhoi jets engaged with the enemy jets and successfully thwarted their attempts to bomb a number of key military installations. In the ensuing engagement, a MiG-21 Bison of the IAF shot down a Pakistani jet, F-16, firing an R-73 air-to-air missile before being hit. It was not clear whether the IAF jet was fired from a Pakistani jet or was brought down by a missile attack by ground-based air defence, sources said. All Indian Air Force personnel returned safely to their air bases around 10.45 am barring Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who ejected after MiG-21 Bison was shot down but landed in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and was held captive by the Pakistan Army. Sources said bombs fired by the Pakistani jets caused no casualties or damage excepting minor injuries to a minor girl, who was hit by splinters of the explosion. Areeba Kounsar daughter of Mohammad Kabeer of Dheri Layote was the only victim of Pakistan bombing as she was hit by shells of one of the blasts.
