According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the incidents took place in Sharda, Dhudnial and Shahkot Sectors along the LOC and the Indian troops deliberately targeted the civilian population in the area.

The ISPR also said, “Pakistan Army troops responded effectively with matching caliber, and targeted those Indian Army posts which initiated fire.”
