Cross-Border Tensions Escalate in Jammu & Kashmir Amid Renewed Shelling

The Pakistan Army's shelling along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir has intensified cross-border tensions, prompting a proportional response from the Indian Army. Despite no casualties in recent skirmishes, earlier attacks led to deaths and widespread displacement. Educational institutions in border districts remain closed due to escalating tensions.

The Pakistan Army intensified shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, leading to a firm response from the Indian Army, officials confirmed on Thursday.

Following intense cross-border shelling on Wednesday under 'Operation Sindoor,' Thursday's attacks were less severe and confined to four sectors, according to officials.

Despite no new casualties, earlier artillery strikes claimed 13 lives, leading to the closure of educational institutions and an increased state of alertness in border areas.
