@Source: news18.com
At least four defence personnel, including two from Army, one from Indian Air Force (IAF) and a BSF sub-inspector were killed, and seven others were injured in the intensified shelling and drone attacks by Pakistani forces across Jammu region on Saturday.
The casualties were reported hours before India and Pakistan agreed to end hostilities, which soared after the Indian Armed Forces hit terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) earlier this week in response to the Pahalgam attack.
Who All Were Killed?
1. BSF sub inspector Mohammed Imteyaz: A senior Border Security Force (BSF) officer said sub-inspector Mohammed Imteyaz made the supreme sacrifice while gallantly leading from the front. He, along with seven others, were injured in cross-border firing initiated by Pakistan. While Imteyaz succumbed to his injuries, the other personnel were admitted to a hospital, the officer said.
“We salute the supreme sacrifice made by BSF braveheart sub-inspector Md Imteyaz in service of the nation on May 10, 2025, during cross-border firing along the International Boundary in R S Pura area, district Jammu,” the force’s Jammu frontier said in a post on X.

It added that the BSF director general and all ranks offered their deepest condolences to his family.
2. Subedar Major Pawan Kumar: Subedar Major Pawan Kumar, a native of Himachal Pradesh, laid down his life when a Pakistani artillery shell exploded near his post in the Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch, the officials said.
3. Rifleman Sunil Kumar: Rifleman Sunil Kumar, 25, of J&K Light Infantry, died of wounds suffered during overnight gunfire and shelling in RS Pura sector.
4. Sergeant Surendra Kumar Moga: Sergeant Surendra Kumar Moga, a 36-year-old medical assistant attached with IAF’s 36 Wing, was killed in a Pakistani strike while stationed in J&K’s Udhampur. Originally posted in Bengaluru, he had been redeployed to Udhampur just four days ago due to escalating tensions. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma paid rich tributes to the soldier and expressed sympathies with his family.
“The news of the martyrdom of Shri Surendra Singh Moga ji, a son of Rajasthan, a resident of Jhunjhunu, a soldier of the Indian Army, who attained martyrdom at Udhampur Air Base while performing his duty of national security is extremely sad,” he wrote on X.

Moreover, Additional District Development Commissioner (Rajouri) Raj Kumar Thapa and his two staff members were seriously injured when an artillery shell hit his official residence in Rajouri town, the officials said. They were rushed to the Government Medical College where Thapa succumbed, they said.
Tensions between India and Pakistan soared significantly after the Indian Armed Forces on Wednesday conducted precision strikes targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan and PoK in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that had cross-border linkages. Twenty-six people, mostly tourists, were killed in the attack.
