Shells fired even on a Gurdwara

Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) – Following India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ targeting terrorist bases in Pakistan, the enraged Pakistani Army resorted to heavy firing and shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch, Jammu. Pakistani forces shelled residential areas, Government buildings, and public places.

In this unprovoked attack, 12 civilians lost their lives and over 40 were injured. One Indian soldier was also killed.

Pakistani troops also targeted the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sahib, where 3 people were killed. The Shiromani Akali Dal strongly condemned this inhuman act of the Pakistani military.
