India fires mortar bombs in Neelam Valley's Mirpura village

Muzaffarabad (Web Desk): Indian forces on Sunday violated LoC ceasefire and fired mortar bombs in Neelam Valley’s Mirpura village.

According to media reports, the mortar bombs landed 150 meters away from the residential area. No loss of life or property damage has been reported so far.

Relations between Pakistan and India have been strained for several months, while cross-frontier shelling has intensified in recent weeks leading to deaths of civilians and soldiers stationed along the disputed frontier.

Last month, at least nine civilians were killed, and nine injured, when an Indian artillery shell hit a passenger bus. The bus was heading towards Muzaffarabad from Kel when it came under attack.
