Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif says “we will avenge the blood of our innocent martyrs” after at least 31 people were reported killed and dozens wounded in India’s attack on Punjab province and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Heavy exchanges of artillery fire have been reported along the Line of Control dividing Indian- and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
India says at least 13 people have been killed and more wounded in Indian-administered Kashmir due to Pakistani fire.
India says “Operation Sindoor” targeted “terrorist” infrastructure; Pakistan says missiles hit mosques and killed civilians in a blatant “act of war”.
Tensions have been escalating between the two nuclear-armed countries since a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22 , which India blamed on Pakistan. Pakistan has denied any involvement.
