India has fired a series of missiles into Pakistani-controlled territory, in what it has described as “Operation Sindoor”
The Indian Armed Forces claimed the operation was limited to “terrorist infrastructure” and stated that “no Pakistani military facilities were targeted.” A spokesperson said the strikes were based on credible intelligence and carried out with precision.
Pakistan, however, has firmly rejected India’s claim.
Officials in Islamabad said missiles hit three locations, including in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and the eastern province of Punjab. State-run television reported that Pakistan’s air force responded swiftly, downing two Indian jets. One missile reportedly struck a mosque in Bahawalpur, killing a child and injuring two adults.
Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif denounced the attack as an “act of war.” In a televised statement, he said Pakistan had every right to respond with full strength. “The deceitful enemy has carried out cowardly attacks at five locations in Pakistan,” he said. “Pakistan knows how to respond and will not let the enemy’s designs succeed.”
Electricity was cut in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani-administered Kashmir, following loud explosions heard in the area. Emergency services were deployed, and air-raid sirens sounded across nearby towns.
India insists the strikes were aimed at stopping cross-border terrorism, linking them to a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir last month that killed 26 Indian tourists. New Delhi accused Pakistan of backing the assault—an allegation Islamabad strongly denies and for which no public evidence has been presented.
Pakistan’s military spokesman, Lieutenant General Ahmad Sharif, accused India of “targeting innocent civilians under the cover of darkness,” adding that retaliatory actions were underway.
Islamabad has also closed its airspace for 48 hours and placed its armed forces on high alert.
India fired missiles across the border into Pakistani-controlled territory in at least three locations early Wednesday, killing at least 8 people, Pakistani security officials said. India said it was striking infrastructure used by militants.
