Last month there were reports that India had conducted precision strikes against terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation to Pakistan's attempts to disturb peace in India. But the Indian Army Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lieutenant General Paramjit Singh on Thursday clarified that the Indian Army has not conducted any action in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He called the news reports fake. Recently, a major terror attack was prevented from happening by Indian security forces in Nagrota, Jammu and Kashmir on November 19. Initial reports indicated the attackers to be members of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), a terrorist organization proscribed by the United Nations and several countries.
