Indian Army sources had also said that Pakistan has upscaled ceasefire violations to “show Kashmir as potential flashpoint” and “seek world’s attention”.
Earlier, a Pakistan Army spokesperson had blatantly claimed that five Indian soldiers had died in the ongoing ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC).
The Indian Army on Thursday refuted the claims on the killing of Indian soldiers in ceasefire violations along LoC in Jammu and Kashmir.
