Indian troops launch grenades at Pakistan’s special service group in repulse attack
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Indian Army has shared a video of its action to repulse an attempt by Pakistain’s BAT (Border Action Team) to push purported faceless myrmidons into Indian territory in Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
. Army sources said they foiled over 15 such attempts in the month of August alone.

​In the video, Indian troops were seen launching grenades at Pak SSG (Special Service Group) commandos using Under Barrel Grenade Launchers.

The faceoff began after a suicide kaboom on Indian troops in Pulwama in Kashmir on February 14 in which 40 security personnel were killed. It further escalated after the Indian Air Force carried out an aerial strike on an alleged training camp at Balakot, in Pakistain-administered Kashmir.

Tension between the two nuclear-capable South Asian neighbours further worsened following New Delhi’s decision to strip Jammu and Kashmir of its special status. Islamabad, which claims to be a stakeholder in Kashmir, rejected the Indian move and declared a diplomatic offensive against it.

India’s Foreign Ministry said on Sunday (15 September) that the Pak Army had committed a total of 2,050 unprovoked ceasefire violations in 2019 in which 21 Indians bit the dust.

"Highlighted our concerns at unprovoked ceasefire violations by Pakistain, including in support of cross border terrorist infiltration and targeting of Indian civilians and border posts. This year, they resorted to over 2,050 unprovoked ceasefire violations in which 21 Indians died", said the Foreign Ministry.
