Assuring a befitting reply to the perpetrators of the terror attack, the DGMO said, "I assure you that the Army is prepared for any evil design by the adversary and will give a befitting response".
The DGMO also clarified that bulk of the deaths were due to fire in the tents and the temporary shelters of the jawans.
The 'deliberate and methodical search' of the area in Uri suggest that of the 17 casualties, 13 or 14 jawans were martyred due to a fire in their shelter, Ranbir Singh said. Meanwhile, defence minister Manohar Parrikar has reached Srinagar to take stock of the situation.
Heavily armed militants stormed a battalion headquarters of the Army in North Kashmir's Uri town in the wee hours on Sunday, in which 17 jawans lost their lives while 19 other personnel were injured.
