SRINAGAR: A civilian was injured while two residential houses were damaged as Pakistan violated ceasefire and shelled mortars along the Line of Control (LoC) in J&K’s Kupwara district on Friday. Such intense was the shelling that it rattled even those villages which are far off from the border, said residents.“Pakistan breached the truce along the LoC in Kupwara’s Keran sector, targeting forward Indian Army posts and civilian settlements in the area. Some shells landed in Trushan Jugtiyal Hayhama village, resulting in injuries to a resident. One house was damaged in the same village and another in Rawatpora ,” defence spokesperson Col Rajesh Kalia said.“Our troops retaliated effectively to the ceasefire violation, targeting terrorist launch pads and ammunition dumps across the LoC. There are reports of heavy damage on the enemy side,” Kalia added.Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the shelling triggered panic among villagers. Not only those living nearby, but the ones based far away were also rattled by thunderous sounds. “This is the first time we are hearing such roaring sound of shells. The houses were shaken with every single bombing,” said Sajjad Ahmad , a resident of Tarathpora , a densely populated village very far away from the LoC.
