At least 10 civilians were killed while over 20 others were injured in the shelling by the Pakistan army along the Line of Control as the Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor and struck terror camps in Pakistan and PoK early Wednesday, officials said.

The Pakistan army resorted to heavy mortar shelling on the forward villages along the LoC in Poonch and Rajouri.

Two CRPF jawans sustained injuries in the shelling. Both are in stable condition, the officials said.

“A shell landed at a bus stand, damaged the bus completely," officials said.

Officials said that the shelling was reported from the Krishna Ghati, Shahpur, and Mankote in Poonch, Laam, Manjakote and Gambeer Brahmana in Rajouri district.

The Indian Army also hit back at Pakistan and retaliated to the shelling.

The BSF was put on high alert, especially along India’s western borders with Pakistan.
