US EditionIndia's worst-hit border town sees people return after ceasefire
- Following a surprise ceasefire, residents began returning on Sunday to Poonch, a community in Indian-controlled Kashmir that experienced some of the heaviest fighting with Pakistan in recent decades.
- The return followed days of missile, drone, and artillery attacks that caused over 60 deaths and nearly escalated to all-out war before the ceasefire.
- Poonch suffered at least 12 deaths and 49 injuries, mostly civilians including 12-year-old twins killed while their parents fled, with most of its 60,000 population displaced.
- On Sunday, 26-year-old Tariq Ahmad brought back 20 people by bus, shops reopened, and people cautiously resumed normal activity despite many families remaining separated.
- Many who fled, such as Hafiz Mohammad Shah Bukhari and Abdul Razzak, expressed fear about the ceasefire holding due to previous violations, indicating lingering uncertainty.
