In a cross-LoC attack by suspected Pakistani terrorists, three Indian soldiers were today killed, with body of one of them being mutilated in second such incident in less than a month. The ambush took place in Machhil sector of Kashmir, following which the Indian army vowed heavy "retribution".
Reacting strongly over the killings of soldiers, Singh termed it as a "cowardly act" and the incident reflected the "barbaric attitude" of the forces on the other side.
