While the entire world is busy battling the surging cases of Coronavirus, Pakistan Army shamelessly continued its unprovoked ceasefire violations across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu & Kashmir region. According to reports, Pakistan resorted to ceasefire violation in Keran sector in Kupwara district yesterday afternoon. Reacting strongly to the blatant act by enemy side, the Indian Army carried out precision targeting of gun areas and terror launch pads across the Line of Control from its posts in the Keran sector of Kupwara. The Indian Army also released footage from a drone showing Pakistani Army ammunition dump being hit by Indian Bofors artillery guns. The video shows multiple explosions.
