Jammu, May 10: Five persons, including a senior J-K government official and a two-year-old girl, were killed as intense mortar shelling and drone strikes by Pakistan hit Jammu region early Saturday, officials said.
\nResidents of Jammu city and other major towns of the division woke up to air raid sirens and deafening sounds of explosions around 5 am, while the border residents spent a sleepless night in the wake of intense shelling from across the border.
\nAccording to defence officials, Pakistan\u2019s blatant escalation with drone strikes and other munitions continued along the western borders on Saturday.
\n\u201cPakistan\u2019s blatant attempt to violate India\u2019s sovereignty and endanger civilians is unacceptable. Indian Army will thwart all enemy designs,\u201d they said.
\nRaj Kumar Thapa, Additional District Development Commissioner, Rajouri, and his two staff members were seriously injured when an artillery shell hit his official residence in Rajouri town, the officials said.
\nThey were rushed to the Government Medical College, where Thapa succumbed to his injuries, they said.
\nCondoling Thapa\u2019s death, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said in a post on X, \u201cDevastating news from Rajouri. We have lost a dedicated officer of the J-K Administration Services. Just yesterday he was accompanying the Deputy CM around the district and attended the online meeting I chaired.
\n\u201cToday the residence of the officer was hit by Pak shelling as they targeted Rajouri town killing our Additional District Development Commissioner Sh Raj Kumar Thappa. I\u2019ve no words to express my shock & sadness at this terrible loss of life. May his soul rest in peace.\u201d

\nTwo more persons \u2014 two-year-old Aisha Noor and Mohd Shohib (35) \u2014 were killed and three others were injured in Pakistani shelling near an industrial area in Rajouri town, the officials said.
\nAccording to the officials, a 55-year-old woman named Rashida Bi lost her life when a mortar shell hit her house at Kanghra-Galhutta village in Mendhar sector of Poonch district.
\nIn another incident, Ashok Kumar alias Shoki, a resident of Bidipur Jatta village, was killed in cross-border firing along the International Border in the R S Pura sector of Jammu district, they said. Three more persons were also injured in intense shelling in Poonch and were evacuated to a hospital, they said, adding that a local journalist was injured in the Nowshera sector of Rajouri.
\nSeveral persons were injured when artillery shells and suspected drones hit some residential areas in Jammu, including Rehari and Roop Nagar in Jammu city.
\n\u201cOn May 9, from about 2100 hrs, Pakistan opened fire on BSF posts in Jammu sector without any provocation. BSF is responding in commensurate manner causing widespread damage to posts and assets of Pakistan Rangers along the International Border. Our resolve to protect India\u2019s sovereignty is unshaken,\u201d BSF Jammu said in a post on X.

\nThe fresh strikes followed after Pakistan launched a wave of drone attacks targeting 26 locations in India \u2014 from Jammu and Kashmir to Gujarat \u2014 for the second night on Friday.
\nThe locations included Baramulla, Srinagar, Avantipora, Nagrota and Jammu in J-K, Ferozpur, Pathankot and Fazilka in Punjab, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer and Barmer in Rajasthan, and Bhuj, Kuarbet and Lakhi Nala in Gujarat.
\nTensions between India and Pakistan soared significantly after the Indian armed forces on Wednesday conducted precision strikes targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that had cross-border linkages.<\/p>\n
