“#GOC and all ranks of #WhiteKnightCorps salute the supreme sacrifice of L/Nk Dinesh Kumar of 5 Fd Regt, who laid down his life on 07 May 25 during Pakistan Army shelling.”
“We also stand in solidarity with all victims of the targeted attacks on innocent civilians in #Poonch Sector,” it added.
The ceasefire breach comes in the wake of India’s targeted missile strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir—part of Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
The Indian Army has reaffirmed its resolve to respond firmly to provocations while ensuring the safety of civilians along the border.
Further details about the incident are awaited. The story is developing.
