2016 Indian Line of Control strike

Textbook definition of WP:CFORK and WP:POVFORK. Entire article is copy-pasted out of India–Pakistan border skirmishes (2016–present), which was created in 2016 on this exact "strike". If anything, the post-2016 skirmishes should have an article, not this 2016 conflict which has an existing article. The title ("Indian Line of Control strike") is also inherently WP:POV and in violation of consensus here which was in favour of "military confrontation" as per neutral sources.

This is a rare example of a Misplaced Pages article being spun (from its own article) into a new duplicate article, re-Christened under a rejected title per WP:POVFORK, and the original article being reduced to events after that event (ironically). And it's been done without WP:CONSENSUS. This should be redirected to its existing article, and if the post-2016 events need to have an article, that should be discussed, not the original event.
