'Pak army fires mortar'. 'Pak Army targets civilians. Here's the proof'.

'These were the titles used by India Today when it reported on the evening of January 22 that Indian civilians in Jammu & Kashmir had been targeted by Pakistani mortar fire along the Line of Control and the International Border,' reports Arjun Sidharth in altnews.in.

'According to the location key on the top left corner of the screen, the video was apparently shot at a place named Kotli in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The correspondent can be heard saying, "You can see the Pakistani army; how they are using civilians and they are targeting our civilian areas",' Sidharth writes.

However, 'Alt News was informed by Neelesh Purohit, who pointed out that the video shown by India Today is not new and has been available on YouTube for almost two years. The video shows the Pakistani army firing mortars as part of its operation named 'Zarb-e-Azb' which was launched against terrorist groups in the North Waziristan region,' Sidharth reports, here.
