There has been no official statement yet from the Ministry of Defence or local administration regarding the source or intent of the incident. Security forces are reportedly assessing the situation.
The fresh tension comes amid escalating hostilities following India’s retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 civilians were killed.
