The DGMO's clarification came in after a news report widely shared stated that the Indian Army had carried out precision strikes against terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation to Pakistan's attempts to disturb peace in India.

The PTI story is based on analysis of the Ceasefire Violations (CFV) that took place on 13 Nov. It is clarified that there has been NO firing or CFV in LC today.

There seems to have been confusion with respect to the timelines as no strikes were conducted today but sources perhaps informed news agency PTI about the action taken by the army on November 13. WATCH | Indian Army destroyed terror launchpads in PoK a day before Diwali
