At least three civilians were killed and several others injured Wednesday in skirmishes between the troops of India and Pakistan on the International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC) dividing Kashmir, officials said.

During the night of May 6, 2025, the Pakistan Army resorted to firing, including artillery shelling, from posts across the LoC and IB opposite Kashmir. Three innocent civilians lost their lives in indiscriminate firing and shelling, according to a statement issued by the Indian army to local media. "Indian army is responding in a proportionate manner."

Reports said the three civilians were killed in Poonch district, about 185 km southwest of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

Wednesday marks the 13th straight day of ceasefire violations on the LoC.

Early Wednesday, the Indian military targeted nine sites inside Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir.
