INDO-PAK WAR of 1965 |
|
September 10, 1965: Munabao fell into
Pakistani hands, and efforts to capture the strategic point did not
succeed. The Pakistani 1st Armoured Division never made it past Khem
Karan, however, and by the end of 10 September pak defence lay
disintegrated by the defences of the Indian 4th Mountain Division at
what is now known as the Battle of Asal Uttar. The area became known as
'Patton Nagar' (Patton Town), because of the large number of US-made
Pakistani Patton tanks were destroyed there. Approximately 97 Pakistani
tanks were destroyed or abandoned, with only 32 Indian tanks destroyed
or damaged. |
