Later on Saturday Pakistan opened another front in Uri when they fired mortar shells on the civilian areas. "Some mortar shells were fired by Pakistani forces into Thajal-Chranda area of Uri. One of the shells hit the washroom of Mohommad Hussain causing damage to the structure. No loss of life or injury was reported," a cop said
