In a recent escalation, the Indian Army has initiated intense artillery shelling in the Leepa Valley of Azad Kashmir, targeting civilian areas. In response, Pakistani forces have launched a robust counterattack, effectively responding to India’s provocative actions. According to security sources, the Indian military is specifically targeting civilian populations in the Leepa Valley. Pakistani forces have been countering this aggression with equal force, resulting in ongoing shelling from both sides. The artillery strikes have raised concerns about potential damage to civilian infrastructure, with sources indicating that casualties could rise as the situation develops. This is not the first such incident in recent days. Just yesterday, the Pakistan Army launched a decisive retaliatory strike in the Pandu sector along the Line of Control (LoC), destroying an Indian Battalion Headquarters. Furthermore, in a separate operation in the Haji Pir sector, the Pakistani military successfully obliterated an Indian military post. In another disturbing development along the LoC, Indian forces launched unprovoked fire and shelling in the Khoi Ratta sector, targeting civilian areas in Azad Kashmir. Tragically, this attack resulted in the martyrdom of four civilians, including a newborn baby, and left 12 others injured. The shelling also caused severe damage in the village of Bagh, where a house was hit by an Indian shell, resulting in the martyrdom of a young man and injuries to two sisters. In response, the Pakistan Army retaliated with heavy artillery, destroying eight Indian military posts and further devastating the Indian Battalion Headquarters in a show of military strength and resilience. The ongoing tensions and exchanges of fire between the two nations continue to fuel concerns over the situation along the LoC, with the risk of further civilian casualties and military clashes escalating.
