Rajouri - May 12, 2025 To protect civilians from danger caused by Pakistan’s intense artillery shelling, the Indian Army, along with local police, has initiated a large-scale clearance mission to detect and defuse unexploded shells scattered in populated regions, which pose serious threats to lives. The incident took place in several areas in Rajouri district, in northern India’s Jammu and Kashmir, on May 12. Visuals show that the Indian Army, along with local Jammu and Kashmir police, is destroying the live artillery shells in different parts of Jammu and Kashmir. According to reports, in an effort to protect civilians in areas impacted by Pakistan's intense artillery shelling, the Indian Army, alongside Jammu and Kashmir police, has launched a comprehensive area clearance mission. The operation focuses on locating and neutralizing live artillery shells fired by Pakistan that have scattered across civilian zones, posing a significant threat to innocent lives. Officials revealed that Indian Army units, in coordination with local police, are working diligently to locate these unexploded shells, which are then destroyed through controlled detonations conducted by the Army’s Bomb Disposal Squad.
