New Delhi:

Several houses were damaged after Pakistan opened unprovoked firing across the Line of Control (LoC) in border areas of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday night. The Pakistani shelling was reported in Poonch, Rajouri, Baramulla and Jammu districts as the Indian armed forces thwarted a wave of missile and drone attacks from Pakistan.

Videos on social media showed that the heavy shelling by Pakistan left many residential houses, shops and vehicles damaged.

"My house has been damaged. There has been a huge loss. Everything is completely devastated," a resident of Lagama village in Baramulla told the news agency PTI.

"My family spent the whole night together in one room. We want peace here," said another.

The Indian Army said the Pakistani troops launched "multiple attacks" using drones and other munitions along the Western Border. Pakistan also resorted to "numerous" ceasefire violations along the LoC, the army said.

"The drone attacks were effectively repulsed and befitting reply was given to the CFVs (ceasefire violations)," it said in a post on X, and tagged a video showing a Pakistani military post being destroyed.

Pakistani troops have been violating the ceasefire amid heightened tensions with India following the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed 26 people, mostly tourists.

On the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday, Pakistan had attempted to strike military targets in 15 locations across India, including Awantipora, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bathinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai and Bhuj.

India said the missiles and drones were neutralised by its air defence systems, and the debris was being collected as proof of Pakistan's attack.

In response, India targeted air defence radars and systems in Pakistan, including Lahore.

This week, India also launched 'Operation Sindoor' and destroyed multiple terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
