12 Pak soldiers killed in retaliatory shelling

Srinagar, Aug 30: At least 12 Pakistani soldiers and militants were killed on Tuesday in retaliatory Indian shelling while a couple of them were injured in the Uri sector due to unprovoked shelling by Pakistan troops.
A defence ministry spokesman told UNI on Tuesday night that in response to artillery, mortar and small arms firing by Pakistan on Kurali area in Uri sector early Tuesday, Indian troops retaliated, targeting Pakistan defences and behiks (huts) located close by.
He said these behiks were being used as launch pads by Pakistan to push militants across the Line of Control.
It is presumed that six to eight militants and three to four Pakistan soldiers were killed in the firing. There were no casualties on the Indian side
