Terror returned to the Indian villages in the Samba sector after two persons were killed in heavy mortar shelling by Pakistan Rangers since Friday night.

"We are leaving our homes and hearths shelled by Pakistan since last night. We are going to shelter camps. There is no end to the firing during past 12 hours," Namrita Devi of Beingallar area in Samba district said.

On Saturday, a woman was killed and eight civilians injured as Pakistani troops targeted villages and 13 border outposts with heavy mortar shelling in Kathua and Samba districts in Jammu & Kashmir.

The fresh ceasefire violations have triggered a migration from border villages and over 1000 people have been evacuated from hamlets in Kathua and Samba districts, officials said.

The latest round of firing by Pakistan, which started on New Year eve has left two persons dead, including a Border Security Force soldier, and nine injured.
