Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said on Sunday that six to ten Pakistan Army personnel were killed and three terror camps destroyed in a retaliatory action by the Indian Army opposite the Tangdhar and Keran sectors in Jammu and Kashmir. Responding to Gen. Rawat’s claim, Pakistan’s military spokesman Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor in a midnight tweet expressed disappointment at Gen. Rawat’s assertions. “The Indian Army chief’s statement claiming destruction of 3 alleged camps is disappointing as he holds a very responsible appointment,” Maj. Gen. Ghafoor said. Indian Embassy in Pakistan is welcome to take any foreign diplomat/media to ‘prove’ it on ground,” he said. This is against professional military ethos, Maj. Gen. Ghafoor said.
