Life in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi returned to normal after India and Pakistan reached an understanding on the cessation of hostilities. Morning visuals showed students returning to school.
However, local residents of a border village in the Samba district feared the Pakistan army after blasts were heard on Monday night and splinters hit one of the houses. The roof and kitchen of the affected house were damaged after being shelled by Pakistan.

Dalbeer Singh, a local, said that there was constant fear due to Pakistan’s shelling. “We were clueless last night, but we heard noises. We saw in the morning that this had happened. However, there is not much damage. We were all at home when the explosion happened. The police came later and took stock of the situation. There is an environment of fear.” Krishan Chand, another local, said that he was sitting outside when the explosion occurred.

Prakar Singh, a local from another border village, said, “When the drone firing happened, I was trying to calm my kids. Pakistan is not ready to agree.”
Red streaks were seen and explosions heard as India’s air defence intercepted Pakistani drones amid a blackout in Samba on Monday evening. Army sources said that a small number of drones had come into the Samba sector and were being engaged, and there was nothing to be alarmed about.
