After Operation Sindoor: Cross-Border Shelling Destroy Homes in Uri’s Salamabad
Salamabad, a small border village in the Uri sector of Baramulla district, Jammu and Kashmir, has been left in ruins following intense shelling from across the Line of Control. The shelling began shortly after the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure across the border.
As the shelling intensified, powerful blasts ripped through the village, tearing off the roofs of homes and setting buildings ablaze. Several houses were reduced to smouldering debris, with flames engulfing entire neighbourhoods. Many residents have been wounded, and some remain missing amid the chaos.
In fear for their lives, the majority of Salamabad’s residents have fled the area, seeking safety in nearby towns and temporary shelters. Only a few have stayed behind, either to protect what remains of their property or due to the lack of transport options.
Local authorities have suspended classes in all schools across five border districts as a safety measure, and emergency services are on alert. The Indian Army continues to respond to the shelling, but the situation remains volatile.
The displaced families now face an uncertain future, hoping for both immediate relief and a lasting resolution to the violence that has disrupted their lives.
