"So far, as per the information available with us, 6-10 Pakistani soldiers have been killed and nearly as many terrorists," General Rawat said, adding that more information on terrorist casualty was being obtained. Rawat said terror camps across the border were targeted as the Army had definitive information. "The festival season is approaching, Diwali is round the corner, we had picked up a definitive signal that some of the terror camps north of Pir Panjal were active. "Before they could attempt the infiltration, it was decided that we target the terror camps. "The defence minister has regularly been in contact with me on this issue," Gen. Rawat said.
