Pak Army Violates Ceasefire

Pakistan Army began shelling civilian areas in Poonch, Tangdhar and other border regions on the night of May 6, and continued firing through May 7. The shelling caused severe damage to homes, forced many locals to flee, and injured several people.
Locals, however, remained firm and backed the Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor. The operation targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
The injured are being treated at multiple medical facilities.
Despite Operation Sindoor, Pakistan continued its ceasefire violations on Wednesday, shelling more civilian areas and creating panic among villagers.
According to defence sources, during the night of May 6 and 7, Pakistan carried out arbitrary firing, including heavy artillery shelling, from posts along the LoC and the International Border.
Shelling was also reported in the Poonch and Rajouri sectors following the operation.
A local resident said, “We will not leave the place and support the Indian Army. The ceasefire may be violated today as well… The operation is a befitting reply… We have sent the women and children from here, but the men will stay here.”
Defence sources added that 15 civilians have died and 43 have been injured in the artillery shelling by the Pakistan Army since last night
