Pakistan has resorted to cross-border shelling in the Karnah area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district for the second day in a row on Thursday, after India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The Pakistani side targeted civilian areas in the Karnah area, firing shells and mortars after midnight, officials told the news agency PTI. The Indian armed forces retaliated effectively against the unprovoked firing.
Most of the civilian population in Karnah moved to safer areas after Pakistani troops resorted to shelling following India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’. No reports of casualties have emerged so far.
On Wednesday, Pakistani troops began shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara, less than two hours after India launched air strikes against terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Indian Army responded to the shelling in equal measure, as per officials.
India’s Operation Sindoor began in the early hours of Wednesday with a swift and synchronised series of missile strikes targeting key terror hubs deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, in response to the dastardly terror attack in J&K’s Pahalgam on April 22.
Within a tightly coordinated 24-minute window, Indian forces neutralised nine high-value terror sites linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and dealt a decisive blow, crippling the operational infrastructure of both groups.
Markaz Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur, the headquarters of JeM, and Markaz Taiba in Muridke, the headquarters of LeT, were among the high profile camps destroyed in the Indian offensive.
On the other hand, Pakistan resorted to indiscriminate shelling across the LoC, resulting in the deaths of at least 12 people, including four children, while 57 others were injured.
