The indiscriminate firing of mortar shells and bullets from Pakistan Army started at 10 am on Friday. The attack led to the deaths of two, a 30-year-old woman and one teenager. With not just defence posts, but also residential areas being targeted, twelve families were evacuated to nearby areas.  As per sources, some of the children in the area were taken to underground bunkers. The Indian forces too retaliated and the exchange of firing was underway when the videos and reports had surfaced on Friday.
