Jammu sources stated that the Pakistan army on Wednesday targeted dozens of forward posts and villages with artillery guns along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri and Poonch districts. Meanwhile the intense shelling and firing from across the border continued throughout the night in Sunderbani sector of Rajouri district, while it started in Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch in the early hours of Wednesday.
Furthermore officials said the Indian Army retaliated strongly and effectively, and the exchange of heavy fire caused panic among the border residents. Reportedly Pakistan had resorted to cross border firing at Nowshera and Sunderbani in Rajouri and Krishna Ghati in Poonch on Tuesday as well and the firing in Krishna Ghati took place from 6 pm to 8:15 pm.
Moreover firing in Sunderbani sector started at 8:30 pm Tuesday and ended around 4:30 am on Wednesday, the officials said. Minutes later, they said the guns once again roared in Krishna Ghati sector and firing was underway between the two sides when last reports were received. Accordingly four civilians, including three members of a family, were killed and several others injured in over 60 incidents of ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the LoC in Rajouri and Poonch last week.
