In a series of escalated border confrontations, Pakistan launched intense mortar shelling and drone strikes targeting Jammu early Saturday, causing the deaths of five individuals, including a senior J-K government official and a two-year-old girl, authorities confirmed.
The residents of Jammu city and nearby towns were jolted from sleep by air raid sirens and explosions as the cross-border shelling began in the early hours. Officials reported Pakistan's ongoing aggression from the western front with large-scale drone attacks.
In response, Indian defence officials condemned the unprovoked assault, emphasizing India's resolve to protect its sovereignty and civilians. This episode marks another chapter in the strained India-Pakistan relations following Indian precision strikes on Pakistan-based terror launchpads.
