Pakistan moves 2,000 soldiers within 30 Km of LoC

Pakistan has moved a brigade-sized force of around 2,000 soldiers to a location within 30 kms of the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Indian Army sources said on Thursday.

The troops have been placed in the Bagh and Kotli sector in PoK.

"The troop movement could be a defensive move by Pakistan in the light of heightened tensions with India. The movement and location was confirmed through various intelligence sources including local inputs," said a senior Army official.

The security establishment is keeping a close tab on the troop movements in Pakistan and is exploring if it poses any immediate threat to India.
