JAMMU: Ten Pakistani soldiers were reported killed when Indian troops blasted three bunkers constructed 300 meters from the Indian territory by Pakistani troops late Thursday in Mandi area of Poonch sector in the northern Indian Jammu and Kashmir state according to Indian claims.

The sources said Pakistani troops had ‘intruded’ into the Indian territory at night a few days ago and set up three concrete bunkers near the Kerni sector where a big group of 35 Kashmiri militants had recently made an abortive bid to cross the line of actual control into India.

The sources said Indian forces did not suffer any casualties.
