The army dismissed on Tuesday television news reports that India destroyed Pakistani bunkers and killed several enemy soldiers across the border in Jammu and Kashmir in a retaliatory attack after the beheading of a military officer and BSF head constable.

A senior officer with the armys northern command said the reports were not true.

There was no retaliation whatsoever by us in the KG sector on Monday night. They (TV channels) go ballistic without asking us anything. We will retaliate and when we do, we will come out with an official statement.

Naib subedar Paramjit Singh, a 42-year-old junior commissioned officer with 22 Sikh Regiment, and 45-year-old head constable Prem Sagar of the BSFs 200 Battalion were shot dead and their bodies mutilated in an ambush on a border patrol at the Krishna Ghati sector of Kashmirs Poonch district on Monday morning.
