  • More than a dozen people have lost their lives and 49 others have been wounded since the escalation of shelling in Poonch, where displaced residents have expressed shock and reported that civilians and various community groups appear to be deliberately targeted.
  • The twins' deaths have united local communities across religious lines, while Indian officials accuse Pakistan of deliberately targeting places of worship, a claim Pakistan denies, calling for an independent probe.
