The shared sorrow of those living on both sides of the LoC: 'Whether there is war or ceasefire, our children will not return'

This world of sorrow and fear is mixed not only in the affected areas of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, but also in many families of Indian-administered Kashmir across the border.

India's attacks on Pakistan and retaliatory attacks by Pakistan were the most vulnerable of the people living around the Line of Control as shells were falling around their homes, and dozens of people living on both sides of the Line of Control. People lost their loved ones in this recent tension.

The entire area is saddened by the death of 10-year-old twins and the injury of their father in Poonch area of Indian-administered Kashmir under cross-border firing and shelling.

In the courtyard of Ramiz Khan's ancestral home, there are now graves of his two twins while the house is locked.

Ramiz Khan, the seriously injured father of the children, was unaware of the death of his children for several days.

BBC Correspondent Riaz Masroor spoke to the children's uncle who said that his brother Ramiz called 10 to 15 minutes before the tragedy and said that the two children were very sick.

When I spoke to the children, the child said, "Taoji, listen to the sound of shelling here on the phone.". I consoled him that you should come to Sunkot with uncle. Later, when I spoke to Ramiz, he was carrying the children and keeping the goods in the car, then at the same time the bullet came and fell, due to which the children died on the spot and Ramiz was seriously injured.'
