The 2013 India Pakistan border incidents was a series of armed skirmishes along the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir area. Starting from the mid-January 2013, they have been described as the "worst bout of fighting in the region in nearly 10 years".It began on 6 January 2013, when according to Pakistani reports Indian forces attacked a Pakistani border post, killing one soldier. Indian authorities claimed the incident as a retaliation against preceding Pakistani ceasefire violations, but denied having crossed the demarcation line.In a second skirmish on 8 January, Indian authorities said that Pakistani forces crossed the LoC, killing two Indian soldiers. The incident sparked outrage in India and harsh reactions by the Indian army and government over the news that the body of one of the soldiers had been beheaded.Pakistan denied these reports.On 15 January, a third skirmish reportedly led to the death of another Pakistani soldier.
OUR MASSIVE MILITARY RETALIATION ON PAKISTANI FORCES:
This is based on what have been gathered from paki civil servants in appropriate ministries, certain political actors and significant folks within our armed services. Some of this is perhaps apocryphal but it’s entirely trustworthy. Here's what's going on:
1. The PMO explicitly intervened 48 hours ago in the wee hours of Monday and asked our forces to initiate all out punitive retaliation.

2. Since then our field artillery including medium 105 & 120 mm guns and 155 mm howitzers, heavy rocket batteries and 100 & 81 mm mortar units have been blasting every inch of Pakistani soil within 1 km of the border/ LoC from Kargil to Rajouri, RS Pura to Jammu.
3. More than 10,000 shells have been fired and over 500,000 rounds of light and heavy machine guns.
4. Pakis have lost around 85 people which includes mostly military personnel.
5. Approximately 80-90 Pakistani posts have been either fully destroyed or compromised severely to render them operationally ineffective.
6. About 400-450 jihadi waiting to cross over have been shifted back to their staging area from forward areas.
7. We have now deployed Brahmos batteries across the entire international border.
8. This is only the beginning. Paki war nuts have now scurried off to the UN and officially sought help to reign in our forces who have been given a free hand to fight effectively.
9. Our armed forces are jubilant as this is the first time since 1999 that they have been given a free hand.
10. Incidentally our ammunition stocks, which reached an all-time precarious low under the UPA regime have now been substantially re-stocked and we have sufficient reserves to fight long engagements or intense wars.
11. We have kept strike jets on standby and strike corps of the army to staging areas. Tank brigades are ditto. Western Naval Command is on full alert. This response is just in support of more than adequate border elements who are punishing Pakis and not to be construed as a war move.
Do not subscribe to rubbish stories promoted in Media by erstwhile political powers : the PM is doing nothing. This is a national response and for the first time its being handled right.
First principle: you cannot reason with Pakistan.
Incidentally, the Chinese backed down from Chumar faced with uncharacteristic aggression from our army boys who sent in 1,500 soldiers to confront 1,000 Chinese.
The Chinese blinked first.
