Four civilians, including a woman, were injured along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri of Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district when Pakistani troops targeted Indian posts on Saturday, officials said.
“Pakistan initiated an unprovoked ceasefire violation along the LoC in Rampur sector by firing mortars and other weapons. Four civilians have been injured,” a spokesperson of the Indian Army said.
“Befitting response is being given,” the spokesperson added.
Abdul Qayoom, the senior superintendent of police (SSP) of Baramulla, said among the injured are a 60-year-old man and a 20-year-old man from Nambla village in the district.
They have been shifted to hospital, Qayoom added.
