Good morning,
The top headlines this morning: heavy shelling by Pakistan along border areas results in casualties, deadlock remains between government and representatives of Punjab farmer unions, and a Kashmiri politician was stopped from travelling abroad.
🚨 *The Big Story*
In one of the worst flare-ups along the Line of Control in recent times, four soldiers, a BSF jawan and at least four civilians, including a seven-year-old boy were killed in “unprovoked ceasefire violation” by Pakistan. Sources told The Indian Express that at least "six to eight" Pakistani soldiers were killed in Indian firing, including two Special Service Group commandos.
