A mosque belonging to the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK)'s Kotli region has been vandalised by a group of 50 persons recently.
The community members often face persecution in Pakistan.
Sources told ANI that a group of 50 people equipped with hammers, shovels, and sticks formed a mob and stormed the mosque on Monday, injuring eight Ahmadi worshippers, including five women, and destroying all of the mosque's four minarets.
Videos of the incident have gone viral on the social media platform X.
The community members often get targeted in the country.
