What is shelling in army?

Shelling refers to the bombardment of an area using artillery shells, typically from howitzers or mortars, to target enemy positions, infrastructure, or troops. It is used to inflict damage, create psychological impact, and suppress enemy fire. Shelling can be conducted in various forms, including indirect fire, where the artillery is not in line of sight of the target, and can cover wide areas, making it a significant tactic in warfare. However, it can also result in civilian casualties and destruction of property in conflict zones.
