The district administration is currently making efforts to take the children back to their parents.
On August 27, at least five people, including two women and a girl, were injured by heavy shelling and unprovoked firing at Nakyal Sector.
The continuous shelling and bombardment across the Line of Control (LoC) had forced the natives to flee. However, a few civilians returned home after having no such incident in the past four days.
After the incident today, the residents have once again started leaving the area.
The continued ceasefire agreement violation on the LoC has created tensions in the region. The two countries agreed to a ceasefire along the LoC in November 2003, but skirmishes have flared across the heavily-militarised Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border in Kashmir, in recent weeks, with both sides blaming each other for having violated the agreement.
However, Pakistan has maintained that it seeks to resolve all disputes with the neighbouring country through peace talks.

Human shields? Hiding among civilians? A page right out of India's Israel, Serbian, and Russian genocidal allies. Defending the attack on children, shame.
@ LalaGee and all the Indians:
Do you honestly think the indian media is going to report the fact that shelling by the Indian army led to school children being confined inside their school?
And, you only have to google recent clips by both the Indian and Pakistani media on the recent LOC tensions to see which media is more hysterical and which is more responsible and credible.
"i have not heard this story so far in Indian media"
@LalaGee
"is saadgi par kon na mar jayee"
Is that a school or training room of terrorists ? Are those students or terrorists ?
@aqib: And what exactly is the evidence my friend. Haven't seen any from Pakistan but plenty provided by India?
@Bakhtiyar Ghazi Khan: Only cowards use children as human shields to infiltrate terrorists.
@Bakhtiyar Ghazi Khan:
Yes, Indian shells are specifically designed to find children and harm them.
In this case, its even more important for Pakistan to stop giving cover fire to infiltrators and even tacit support, so that India doesn't fire those shells.
No matter what evidence comes before us, we will continue in our praise of the 'Great land of India'...(this holds for people, on both sides of the border)
Only cowards attack children. Shame on them.
Pakistan should have thought twice before disturbing peace along LOC...
I wonder why such news is never reported in the Indian media.
Next time don't build schools near LOC, that said, I am not believing this news either, it would have been better if there is a video proof of the news, I am sure atleast one person would have mobile phone in that school.
Good Conspiracy theory..Lets gear up for a Lollywood film on this story........This is same pakistani media which reports that indian media is aggressive and all that..i have not heard this story so far in Indian media..keep on feeding..and remember..u cant do clap with one hand....Indian army is not the army of 1999...this is 20th century..so,better be ready for response.. B/w am a pakistani canadian........
