“In the retaliation of the Indian army, large number of terrorists have been killed as several terror training camps were targeted by the Indian army”, an officer said. He said that Pakistan army violates ceasefire along the line of control to facilitate infiltration of the terrorists into the Indian side or to carry out attacks by the notorious Border Action Team (BAT) of the Pakistan army.
