...estimated 3,000 "infiltrators." Deciding that this was not enough, India then moved to strike at the "infiltration routes" themselves. Indian troops crossed the U.N. cease-fire line and occupied half a dozen abandoned Pakistani outposts. Seemingly encouraged by the silence of Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan, India stepped up the tempo. In the Punch-Uri area, the Indians advanced fully 25 miles.
