Four civilians were killed and 30 others, including BSF personnel, injured in the latest round of Pakistan shelling across the international border in Jammu region on Wednesday, taking the death toll in the firing to 11 since May 15.
Pakistan rangers have been firing and shelling on Indian forward villages along the 195-km international border for over a week, forcing families to shift to safer places.
“In a night long shelling/firing from across the border at Jammu International Border Kathua to Akhnoor so far four deaths have taken place and thirty injured. Very sad indeed,” tweeted Shesh Paul Vaid, the director general of police of Jammu and Kashmir.
