Lance Naik Dinesh Kumar of the 5 Field Regiment was martyred on May 7 during Pakistan Army’s shelling along the Line of Control in the Poonch sector, the Indian Army’s White Knight Corps confirmed in an official statement.
The White Knight Corps paid tribute to his supreme sacrifice, stating, “#GOC and all ranks of #WhiteKnightCorps salute the supreme sacrifice of L/Nk Dinesh Kumar, who laid down his life on 07 May 25 during Pakistan Army shelling.”
The Army also expressed solidarity with all innocent civilians affected by the targeted attacks in the Poonch sector, as tensions continue to rise following India’s recent Operation Sindoor strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Lance Naik Kumar’s sacrifice comes at a time of heightened hostilities, with Pakistani forces reportedly targeting civilian areas and violating the ceasefire agreement.
We salute the braveheart!
