Continuous heavy artillery and mortar shelling by Pakistan continued for a third consecutive day on the Jammu and Kashmir border on Friday (May 9).
The attack from Pakistan led to the killing of three people.
Pakistani shelling claimed the life of civilian Mohd Abrar and injured three others, including his wife, when their homes were hit.

BSF foils infilitration attempt, kills seven terrorists
Along the volatile boundary, the Border Security Force (BSF) also thwarted a major infiltration attempt, killing seven terrorists.
The BSF successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt across the International Border in Jammu’s Samba district. The BSF’s surveillance grid detected a large group of terrorists around 11 pm on Thursday (May 8), leading to an engagement that resulted in the death of at least seven infiltrators and the destruction of the Pakistan Rangers’ Dhandhar post, which had provided support fire.
