Pakistani troops resorted to cross-border shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir for the second consecutive day on Thursday, a day after the Indian armed forces targeted terror infrastructure in the neighbouring country as part of Operation Sindoor.
The Pakistani side targeted civilian areas in the Karnah area, firing shells and mortars after midnight, officials said.
The Indian armed forces retaliated effectively against the unprovoked firing.
There are no reports of any casualties so far.
Most of the civilian population in Karnah moved to safer areas on Wednesday after Pakistani troops resorted to shelling following India’s Operation Sindoor.
Earlier, 15 Indians were killed and 43 others injured in intense firing and shelling by Pakistani forces along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch and Tangdhar regions late Tuesday night, according to the Army.
India Today TV, reporting from ground zero, captured the widespread devastation in the affected areas. Visuals showed houses reduced to rubble, shattered windows, and debris strewn across the surroundings.
