cross border shelling

J&K CM Omar Abdullah asserted that Pakistan gains nothing from hostilities against India, emphasizing India's right to defend its people. Recent cross-border shelling from Pakistan, described as the most serious since 1971, has caused casualties and displacement in Poonch. The National Conference government is committed to aiding those affected, as PDP president Mehbooba Mufti urges restraint.

CCTV footage captured a Pakistani military projectile striking a house in Jammu's Poonch, highlighting escalating cross-border hostilities. The incident, part of intensified shelling across sectors like Uri and Kupwara, has severely impacted civilian life, damaging homes and disrupting local economies. India reports intercepting Pakistani missiles and alleges growing terror links between ISI and Hamas.

Pakistani shelling across the Line of Control resulted in casualties. An Army jawan, M Murali Naik, lost his life. A woman in Uri and a man in Poonch also died. Six other civilians sustained injuries due to the intense firing. Indian troops retaliated effectively. A family in Uri was injured while fleeing, resulting in the death of Nargis Bano.

Pakistani Army's shelling in Jammu and Kashmir's border areas, including the Line of Control, resulted in at least 12 fatalities, including four children, and 57 injuries. Poonch district was the worst hit. This occurred after Indian forces struck terrorist sites in Pakistan and PoK under "Operation Sindoor." Indian Army retaliated, causing significant damage to Pakistani posts.

In a significant escalation, the Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked firing and artillery shelling along the Line of Control and International Border in Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the tragic deaths of three civilians. This aggression follows India's launch of 'Operation Sindoor,' a counter-terror operation targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.

Amidst escalating tensions, Pakistan's violation of Indian airspace led to projectile debris being found in Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir. Civilian areas were targeted, causing damage to homes and religious sites in Kupwara, Uri, and Poonch. Despite the destruction and fear, residents of affected areas expressed unwavering support for the Indian Army and resolved to remain steadfast in their communities.

Following India's Operation Sindoor, Pakistan initiated heavy artillery and mortar fire along the LoC in J&K, resulting in a tragic loss of civilian lives, including children, and numerous injuries. The intense shelling, impacting areas like Poonch and Rajouri, prompted evacuations and shelter activations. Authorities are providing relief and medical assistance while addressing the escalating cross-border tensions.

In response to escalating security concerns, educational institutions across Jammu's five border districts are closed today. This decision follows Indian Armed Forces' missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and PoK after the Pahalgam attack. The closure aims to protect students and staff amid heightened tensions and shelling along the LoC and International Border.

Pakistan initiated coordinated attacks on military targets in Northern and Western India. India's air defence systems successfully intercepted and neutralised all threats. India responded with targeted strikes on Pakistani air defence systems. This retaliation followed cross-border shelling by Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir. Sixteen civilians were killed in the unprovoked shelling.

Amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions, Punjab's cabinet has approved Rs 51.41 crore for anti-drone systems to secure its 532 km border, combating weapon and drug smuggling. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann urged calm, assuring the public that the technology would cover the entire border, supplementing the BSF's efforts. Punjab stands firmly with the nation, prioritizing security against cross-border threats and supporting the Army.

Following unprovoked firing, Indian forces destroyed a terrorist launchpad in Pakistan's Sialkot district used for infiltration. Retaliation followed Pakistani attacks on 26 locations, including Jammu and Pathankot, with drone sightings prompting alerts. The escalation resulted in casualties and heightened security measures in border regions, as India responds to sustained provocations with precision strikes.

Pakistani forces launched a devastating cross-border attack, reducing eight Sikh homes in Terbuni village to rubble and forcing families to flee. The assault plunged the border village into chaos, prompting calls for enhanced safety measures and support for the displaced residents.

Amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions, Odisha has heightened security at key locations and cancelled leaves for top officials, directing their immediate return to duty. Other states like Punjab are implementing similar measures, while the Health Ministry has suspended staff leaves. Cross-border shelling by Pakistan has intensified concerns, prompting security briefings and heightened vigilance.

Heightened tensions between India and Pakistan have triggered a high alert in Delhi, leading to cancelled leave for government employees and intensified security measures across the city. Border regions like Jammu face cross-border shelling, prompting increased vigilance in the capital.

Border villages in states like Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat saw people leaving as Pakistan resorted to heavy shelling in Jammu and Kashmir from Wednesday in response to the strikes carried out by India.

Following the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam and escalating tensions, schools in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir are training children in emergency response drills. Students are learning first aid, evacuation procedures, and fire extinguishing techniques amidst fears of military escalation. With cross-border shelling increasing, residents near the LoC are fortifying bunkers, and parents are concerned about their children's safety.

Following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, residents in the remote border villages of Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir, are preparing their underground bunkers, locally known as "Modi bunkers." These bunkers, built during Prime Minister Modi's tenure to protect civilians from cross-border shelling, are being restocked with essentials.

Following Pakistani drone attacks targeting Indian military and civilian sites, India retaliated by destroying key Pakistani posts and terrorist launch pads near Jammu. Pakistan claims its airbases were targeted, vowing retaliation and temporarily closing its airspace. India remains on high alert, activating missile systems and continuing counter-drone operations along the LoC after the Pahalgam terror attack and 'Operation Sindoor'.

Military and security experts call for a cautious and calibrated response to the Pahalgam carnage perpetrated by Pakistani terrorists. Here’s what India could do despite risks of escalation to a limited war
