India launched a military operation against Pakistan, striking what it claims to be “terrorist infrastructure” in both Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. This action follows a terrorist attack in India-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people.
India stated that the operation was focused, measured, and non-escalatory, targeting nine sites. No Pakistani military facilities were reportedly targeted. The Indian Ministry of Defense explicitly mentioned the Pahalgam terrorist attack as the impetus.
Pakistan's military confirmed that three locations were struck by missiles and vowed to respond at a time and place of its choosing. The Pakistani military spokesperson described India's actions as a “heinous provocation”.
Multiple loud explosions were reported in Pakistan-administered Kashmir by a CNN journalist. The situation is ongoing and further updates are expected.
