Hours after India launched precision strikes on terror targets under Operation Sindoor, Pakistan retaliated with heavy shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri and Kupwara. This marks the most intense cross-border exchange since the 2021 ceasefire. Srinagar airport was closed for civilian flights amid anti-aircraft fire and blaring sirens at the 15 Corps HQ. Wednesday’s shelling comes after 12 days of repeated ceasefire violations following the April 22 Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives. Officials confirmed Pakistan’s artillery fire as a significant escalation, aimed at destabilizing the border following India's retaliation on terror infrastructure. (PC: AFP)
