Pakistan Army Targets Mosque, Gurudwara, Temple in J&K’s Poonch
In a shocking and disturbing turn of events, visuals have surfaced online showing the devastating aftermath of cross-border shelling by the Pakistani army in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district. The shelling, which has been ongoing since Wednesday, has resulted in the destruction of a mosque, a temple, and a gurudwara, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in its wake.
The shelling, which is believed to be in response to India’s Operation Sindoor, has already claimed the lives of at least 16 civilians, including women and children. The operation, which was launched by the Indian army, aims to neutralize terrorist hideouts and infrastructure in the region.
The visuals, which have been widely shared on social media, show the extent of the damage caused by the Pakistani army’s shelling. The mosque, which appears to be a beautiful and historic structure, has been badly damaged, with walls cracked and debris scattered all over the floor. The temple, which is also seen in the visuals, has suffered significant damage, with its walls and roof severely damaged. The gurudwara, which is a sacred place of worship for Sikhs, has also been badly damaged, with its walls and windows shattered.
The shelling has not only caused physical damage to these religious structures but has also caused immense emotional distress to the local population. The residents of Poonch are living in fear, with many having been forced to flee their homes to safer areas. The local administration has set up relief camps for those who have been affected by the shelling, but the situation remains precarious.
The Pakistani army’s shelling has also caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure, including homes, shops, and roads. The region’s economy is already struggling due to the ongoing conflict, and the destruction caused by the shelling will only exacerbate the situation.
The Indian army has been responding to the Pakistani army’s shelling with equal intensity, and the situation on the border remains tense. The Indian government has condemned the Pakistani army’s actions, calling them “unprovoked and unjustified”. The government has also called for an immediate ceasefire and has accused Pakistan of violating the ceasefire agreement between the two countries.
The international community has also condemned the Pakistani army’s actions, with many countries calling for an end to the violence and a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The United Nations has called for restraint and has urged both countries to respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In the midst of this chaos and destruction, it is important to remember the human cost of this conflict. The civilians who have been killed and injured in the shelling are innocent victims of a conflict that is not of their making. They deserve our sympathy and support, and we must work towards creating a peaceful and stable environment in which they can live without fear.
The Pakistani army’s shelling of a mosque, a temple, and a gurudwara in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of conflict on innocent civilians. We must work towards creating a world where such incidents are a thing of the past, and where religious and cultural structures are respected and protected.
