In yet another grave violation of the ceasefire agreement, Indian forces launched heavy shelling on the Barnala and Chhamb sectors of Azad Kashmir on Saturday, injuring women and children and prompting a strong retaliatory response from the Pakistan Army.
According to local sources, the unprovoked firing targeted several villages in the region, damaging homes and causing widespread fear among residents. The sudden escalation has led to the declaration of a state of emergency in the affected border areas, with authorities initiating the relocation of civilians to safer locations.
The enemy's aggression was met with a swift and powerful Pakistan army response as Pakistan Army remains fully prepared to defend every inch of the homeland.
Pakistani forces retaliated effectively, targeting the source of hostile fire and silencing enemy positions.
Eyewitnesses in Barnala reported continuous shelling, describing the situation as “tense and terrifying.” Many families were forced to flee their homes with only the bare essentials, fearing for their lives as explosions echoed across the region.
The latest flare-up underscores the fragility of the ceasefire agreement between Pakistan and India, which has been under strain just hours after it has taken place.
