India and Pakistan are on the brink of a wider conflict after India launched strikes on both Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. India said it targeted "terrorist infrastructure" in the wake of a tourist massacre in India-controlled Kashmir last month.
Pakistan’s military said 31 people were killed in India’s attacks. According to a senior Indian defence source, shelling by Pakistan killed at least 12 people on the Indian side of the de facto border that divides Kashmir.
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said Pakistan will only hit military targets in India. Earlier, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif claimed Pakistan destroyed Indian fighter jets in an hour-long air battle.
Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan each control parts of Kashmir but claim it in full and have fought three wars over the territory.
