Indian Army is retaliating strongly and effectively,” the spokesperson said in a brief statement. A police official said dozens of mortars were fired by Pakistan from across the LoC, hitting several villages, including Kalsia, Manpur and Ganiya. No one was injured in the shelling that was still continuing when last reports were received, the official added.
