“Our troops responded in a calibrated and restrained manner. The intent was clearly to provoke, but our response was firm and professional,” said a senior army officer familiar with the developments.
Further assessment of the incident is underway to determine the motive behind the sudden exchange. While such violations are not uncommon, they come at a sensitive time following heightened tensions in the region due to recent terror-related developments.
The Indian Army maintains high alertness across the LoC to prevent infiltration and respond to any misadventures from across the border.
