Almost a week after Pakistani shelling of an old structure in the Poonch area in J&K on October 23, Indian Army targeted the Hazira Brigade headquarters of Pakistan army across the LoC in Pak Occupied Kashmir, sources said on Monday. The revelation by sources in the Indian Army came on a day when a video, showing explosion in an area believed to be in the POK, went viral .

No casualties were reported in the October 23 shelling which resulted in a fire. Initially, the Army had stated the fire was not related to cross border shelling. But a defence spokesperson confirmed that Pakistani troops had fired rocket propelled grenades.

Referring to the targeting of the Hazira Brigade headquarters, the sources said on Monday, “Indian Army has given a befitting reply to Pakistan for their cowardly act of October 23.” On October 21, the Indian Army had successfully foiled an infiltration bid in Sunderbani sector of Rajouri by killing two Pakistani intruders. Three Army jawans were killed in the encounter.
