Statement by DGMO #IndianArmy on 29 Sep 16
1. It has been a matter of serious concern that there has been continuing and increasing infiltration by terrorists across Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. This is reflected, amongst others, in the terrorist attacks on 11 and 18 September 16 in Punch and Uri respectively. Almost 20 infiltration attempts have also been foiled by the Army at or close to the Line of Control during this year.
2. During these terrorist attacks and infiltration attempts, we have recovered various stores including GPS and items that clearly indicate their origins in Pakistan. Furthermore, captured terrorists hailing from Pakistan or Pakistan Occupied Kashmir have confessed to their training and arming in Pakistan or territory under its control. The matter had been taken up at highest diplomatic levels and through military channels. India has also offered consular access to these apprehended terrorists for Pakistan to verify their confessions. Furthermore, we had proposed that fingerprints and DNA samples of terrorists killed in Punch and Uri could be made available to Pakistan for investigation.
3. Despite our persistent urging that Pakistan respect its January 2004 commitment for not allowing its soil or territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India, there has been no let up in infiltration and terrorist actions from across the Line of Control. If damage was limited, this was primarily due to the efforts of our soldiers deployed in our multi-tiered counter-infiltration grid that has been effective in neutralizing infiltrating terrorists. The Indian Armed Forces have been extremely vigilant in the face of this continuing threat.
4. Based on receiving specific and credible inputs that some terrorist teams had positioned themselves at launch pads along Line of Control to carryout infiltration and conduct terrorist strikes inside Jammu and Kashmir and in various metros in other states, the Indian Army conducted surgical strikes at several of these launch pads to pre-empt infiltration by terrorists. The operations were focussed on ensuring that these terrorists do not succeed in their design to cause destruction and endanger the lives of our citizens.
5. During these counter terrorist operations significant casualties were caused to terrorists and those providing support to them. The operations aimed at neutralizing terrorists have since ceased. We do not have any plans for further continuation. However, the Indian Armed Forces are fully prepared for any contingency that may arise.
6. I have been in touch with Pakistan Army DGMO and have informed him of our actions. It is India’s intention to maintain peace and tranquillity in the region. But we cannot allow the terrorists to operate across the Line of Control with impunity and attack citizens of our country at will. In line with Pakistan’s commitment in January 2004 not to allow its soil or territory under its control to be used for attacks against India, we expect the Pakistani army to cooperate with us to erase the menace of terrorism from the region.

DGMO - Directer General of Military Operations

According to twitter sources and Defense journalists in India, Operation was carried out yesterday night across the LoC on 8 terror camps. So far there are civilian evacuations going on 10km within the international border on Indian state of Punjab bordering Pakistan.

Highlighting the danger that cross-border terrorism poses to the region, Ambassador Rice reiterated our expectation that Pakistan take effective action to combat and delegitimize United Nations-designated terrorist individuals and entities, including Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Muhammad, and their affiliates,

Also note US NSA Susan Rice called Indian NSA early this morning, Is that confirmation that US is aware of the cross border strike or US was informed Before hand of the said strike. Either way, it looks like things are slowly escalating along the Indo-Pak frontier.

OK.

The topic is India bombs suspected terrorists along Kashmir border... Not building toilets, or any other topic.

Ukraine & Russia, US & Syria, Russia & ISIS, Saudi & Yemen, India & Pakistan..

When does this become a world war?

Not forgetting China and the South China Sea confrontation and the Korea Peninsula. Both of those arent lobbing missiles yet but there's not much hope of it getting better.

I refuse to believe all of this is just a coincidence... I feel like someone is stirring # up.
All of these wars except Ukr,Russia are concerning terrorists. Is it too far fetched to believe someone is controlling these terrorists to stir # up everywhere ?

When does this become a world war?

When the Southern Hemisphere gets involved perhaps?

This is a great move by India and I hope that Pakistan does something to promote peace but Pakistan is not even friendly to the US until they are given lots of US$$$$$$.

Lots of terrorists seem to go to Pakistan for all sorts of reasons.

I do think that if those two go at it, it will be limited to the two countries. Remember that China and her army are nearby and won't take any crap.

Looks like an Indian soldier was capture by Pakistan on their side of the border.

So just another day on the border...this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

It's a shame that the people of this area have to deal with this situation as long as they have.
