India-Pakistan War : Civilian lives on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) are bearing the brunt
Following India's airstrikes on May 7 to retaliate for the pahalgam terror assault, civilian lives on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) are suffering as India-Pakistan tensions escalated, according to international news outlets on Friday. The 29-year-old Madasar Choudhary told Agence France-Presse (AFP) about an incident on his sister's behalf, who was too distraught to talk.
He recounted her incident from Poonch, kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>jammu and kashmir, saying, "She saw two children running out of her neighbor's house and screamed for them to get back inside," "But shrapnel got to the children - and they eventually died."
India reported the pakistan Army's massive cross-border firing in Poonch on wednesday killed at least 15 people, including children, and injured 43 more.
The devastation was extensive in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-occupied kashmir and one of the locations hit by the indian strikes.
Muhammad Riaz informed AFP that his family was now without a place to live. "There is nowhere for us to reside. At the home of our relatives, there is no room. We have nowhere to go, therefore we are really upset.
The 15-year-old daughter of Muzaffarabad resident Safeer Ahmad Awan was among the injured. The night between May 6 and 7, he told CNN, missiles targeted a mosque meters from their home, and she was struck by shrapnel.
"My kid followed me as I hurried outdoors as soon as the first missile hit. The second missile struck at that moment, and a fragment of shrapnel became trapped in her chest. According to Awan, she was hospitalized for two days.
Civilians have been forced to evacuate or seek shelter in temporary underground bunkers as military tensions have increased.
Nadeem Akbar, who hails from Uri, which is roughly 10 kilometers east of the Line of Control, told CNN that he and a few family members escaped their house just before new shelling started on thursday night. "My other relatives who remained had to spend the night in the village's subterranean bunker. That bunker contained forty of them. The shelling went on all night, and they had a difficult time.
The town's video footage shows homes that have been demolished and belongings that have been turned to rubble.
India called its "Operation Sindoor" "focused, measured and non-escalatory" assaults, and it claimed to have destroyed nine "terrorist camps" throughout Pakistan's Line of Control.
Communities and residences in kashmir were impacted by Pakistan's severe artillery shelling, drone operations, and ceaseless gunfire along the Line of Control.
At least 46 people, including children, have reportedly perished as a result of the violence since Wednesday.
Al Jazeera reports that New delhi stated 14 civilians and one military were killed in retaliatory Pakistani fire, while Islamabad reported 31 people were killed in indian attacks.
On thursday evening, Jammu lawyer Deepika Pushkar Nath was in her garden when she saw a live fire.
"We're afraid. "Does anyone get our permission before launching a war?" she inquired. "We believed that we would have perished. The fact that the conflict has already started has now set in," she told CNN.
The possibility of future escalation looms large as both nuclear-armed states escalate their border aggressiveness, trapping civilians in the crossfire with no imminent end in sight.
