India says it attacked nine sites in Pakistan, Pakistani Kashmir

Let's begin with the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, since the recent attack in Kashmir.

India has conducted missile strikes against Pakistan. Could you give us the details?

Sure. In retaliation for the recent attack by militants in Kashmir, India has conducted missile strikes on nine sites within Pakistan.

On Tuesday, local time, the Indian Armed Forces initiated Operation Sindoor, targeting nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

The strikes were aimed at terrorist infrastructure linked to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which India attributes to Pakistan-based militants.

The Indian government described the operation as "focused, measured, and non-escalatory in nature," with no Pakistani military facilities targeted.

Pakistan reported that the missile strikes resulted in the deaths of at least eight civilians and injured dozens of others.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attacks as a "shameful and cowardly attack" and promised to respond with force.

Pakistani security and government sources have also claimed that at least five Indian Air Force aircraft have been shot down.

The region remains on high alert, with both nations' militaries mobilized and diplomatic ties further strained.
