Pakistani troops cross Line of Control, two jawans dead, one decapitated with head missing.(NDtv).Two Indian soldiers were killed early this morning and another two injured by Pakistani army troops who crossed into Indian territory along the Line of Control in Kashmir. The body of one of the jawans was decapitated, said senior army sources; they said the severed head is missing. This is one of the worst violations of the nearly decade-long ceasefire between India and Pakistan. The Indian army described the attack as "a grave provocation by the Pakistan army." The Defence Ministry said the Indian government condemns the "provocative action" and "will take up the incident with the Pakistan Government." The Pakistani army denied what it described as India's allegation of unprovoked firing. The army says Pakistani troops ambushed an Indian army patrol near the town of Mendhar, about 220 kms north of Jammu. Sources say they grabbed the weapons of the soldiers who were killed. In a statement, the army said the soldiers who died were Lance Naik Hemraj and Lance Naik Sudhakar Singh. "Pak army troops, having taken advantage of thick fog and mist in the forested area, were moving towards own posts when an alert area domination patrol spotted and engaged the intruders. The fire fight between Pak and own troops continued for approximately half an hour after which the intruders retreated back towards their side of Line of Control," the statement disclosed.Read the full story here.
