Sachi Ghatna: Indian soldiers' sacrifice fails big conspiracy of Pakistani militants for 15th August

The Pakistan Army fired on Indian Army posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Gurez sector on Monday night. The attack left four Indian Army soldiers, including a Major, dead. Two militants were also killed in the retaliatory firing and their bodies were found later, though initial reports said four militants had been gunned down.

Police officials said that unlike Kupwara and Uri, Gurez does not witness frequent infiltration bids as the mountain peaks in the region remain snow-covered even in summers. In Gurez, militants do not have long tracts of forest cover either to use as escape routes or to sneak inside Kashmir.
