Among those killed was a commander of the Pakistan-based rebel group Jaish-e-Mohammed, said Neeraj Sharma, a spokesman for India’s paramilitary force. Meanwhile, at least 20 Pakistani artillery shells landed in the village of Kaksar on Friday, destroying about six homes. No casualties were reported.
