Three civilians were killed in heavy artillery shelling by Pakistan Army from across the Line of Control (LOC) and the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir, sources in the Indian Army said on Wednesday.
The Indian Army responded in a proportionate manner.
This comes after India targeted nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The strike by India came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed.
