We have received multiple reports of cross-border shelling on Thursday night along the Line of Control, the de facto border between India and Pakistan in Kashmir. Our reporter Aamir Peerzada has been speaking to people living in Kupwara and Uri regions in Indian-administered Kashmir.
“We have never seen any shells landing in this village, this is the first time in my lifetime,” Tanvir Ahmad, who lives in Kralpora, Kupwara, tells me.
His home was hit by a shell at about 05:00 local time on Friday, also hitting his truck and an earth digger the family owned.
“We’re lucky that it didn’t hit us, our shelter was just about 500 metres from this location,” he says.
“There are no bunkers for civilians to hide in the area. Actually, we have never seen any shells landing in this village, but this is the first time in my lifetime.”
Eyewitnesses in Uri also told us that there was intense shelling in the area.
Nissar Hussain, from Uri, sent a voice note describing shelling which started at 21:00 on Thursday and continued throughout the night.
“We were staying in a mosque basement, which was built by villagers 10 years ago,” Nissar says.
“When I went back in the morning, I saw three shells had hit the vicinity of my house, damaging parts of it.”
A local influencer from Uri, Farhaan Lone, said it had “turned into a ghost town – almost 90% of the population have already left”.
