    Exactly a month after conducting "surgical strikes" in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, the Indian Army once again went into the assault mode in North Kashmir's Keran sector in Kupwara district. In a massive fire assault, the Army destroyed four Pakistani Army's outposts along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Keran sector. According to the Army's Northern Command, heavy casualties have been "inflicted" on Pakistan's side.

    On 18 Sep'16, four heavily armed terrorists killed 17 Indian Army soldiers and left 19 critically injured in a terror attack at the army's administrative base in Uri. On 29 Sep'16, in response to the Uri terror attack, Indian special forces conducted "surgical strikes" to eliminate terrorists in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. They had attacked seven terror launch pads across the Line of Control.

    Mutilation of BSF soldier angers Indian Army

    Indian Army vowed "revenge" after a Border Security Force personnel, Mandeep Singh, was killed and his body mutilated by terrorists aided by Pakistan's troops in Kupwara district's Machil sector along the LoC. Singh was retaliating to a ceasefire violation when he was killed due to his weapon's malfunction. Officials said Pakistan had been violating the ceasefire over last few days and abetted infiltrating militants.
