In a tragic escalation of hostilities along the Line of Control (LoC), Pakistan Army’s indiscriminate firing resulted in the deaths of seven civilians and left 38 others injured. The incident occurred in the border villages of Jammu and Kashmir, where Pakistani forces launched unprovoked artillery and mortar attacks targeting civilian areas.
Local authorities reported that the shelling caused widespread panic, with many residents trapped in their homes and unable to seek safety. Emergency services were promptly deployed to evacuate the injured and provide medical assistance. The injured were transported to nearby hospitals, where several remain in critical condition.
The international community has condemned the attack, calling for an immediate ceasefire and urging both India and Pakistan to engage in dialogue to prevent further loss of innocent lives. The United Nations has also expressed concern over the deteriorating situation and has called for both sides to exercise restraint.
