This development comes after two Indian Army jawans were killed and six people, including three civilians, were injured as Pakistani troops pounded several villages and forward areas with mortars along the LoC on Wednesday. Pakistan Army’s Inter-Services Public Relations wing released a video of what it claimed were Indian posts along the LoC being blown up by Pakistani artillery fire.
