Pakistan’s military has carried out targeted strikes along the Line of Control (LoC) in retaliation for what it calls unprovoked Indian aggression, destroying key Indian positions including the “Jhanda Ziyarat” post and a battalion headquarters at Nanga Tak in occupied Kashmir, security sources reported.
According to these sources, the Pakistan Army responded after Indian forces launched indiscriminate firing in the Hajipir sector, resulting in the destruction of the Jhanda Ziyarat post and significant Indian losses. The strikes were described as a measured, effective response to ongoing provocations.
Building on this retaliation, Pakistani forces also struck the Indian battalion headquarters at Nanga Tak, inflicting further damage and casualties, state broadcaster PTV reported, quoting official sources. PTV stated on social media that these actions specifically targeted hostile infrastructure used to carry out ceasefire violations.
Security officials emphasized that Pakistan has previously taken out several Indian military positions in similar operations, underscoring the military’s commitment to defending national sovereignty and deterring escalation.
“Pakistan’s armed forces remain fully vigilant and ready to respond. Any future aggression will be met with a decisive and proportionate answer,” the security sources said.
Information Minister Denies Strikes in Jammu and Kashmir
At the same time, Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar rejected claims circulating in Indian media that Pakistan had launched attacks deep into Jammu and Kashmir.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tarar clarified:
“Pakistan has not targeted any locations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir or across the international border so far. No loss has been incurred by the Pakistan Air Force.”
He further accused Indian media of spreading disinformation to fabricate a narrative of success and distract from their own setbacks.
“Indian media is always crafting fake notions of success before publicly admitting their embarrassing losses during their unprovoked aggression on the night of May 6–7, 2025,” Tarar stated. “We have only provided a defensive response so far. The international community should take note.”
