Last week, 20 civilians were injured as Pakistani troops shelled Indian villages with mortar bombs by targeting hamlets and border outposts (BoPs) in Jammu, Kathua and Samba districts along the International Border (IB) in the Jammu region for the eighth day today, prompting a strong and effective retaliation by the BSF. An eight-month-old was killed.

Hundreds of panic-stricken villagers fled their houses and took shelter either at the houses of relatives or relief camps set up by the government at safer places. All educational institutions in the affected areas remained closed.

Over 700 such incidents have been reported so far this year, which have left 39 people, including 18 security personnel, dead and scores injured. Meanwhile, opposition National Conference (NC) today expressed concern over the shelling and called for peace along the border.
