In a similar tweet on Thursday, the DG ISPR announced that three soldiers were martyred due to India's increased firing along the LoC. He further said this was India's 'efforts to divert attention from precarious situation in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir'.

The DG ISPR added that in a counter-attack, Pakistan Army had killed five Indian soldiers and injured several others while bunkers were also damaged. The Pakistani soldiers who lost their lives included Naik Tanveer, Lance Naik Taimoor and Sepoy Ramzan.
