India launched missile attacks on nine locations in Pakistan, killing at least three and injuring 12. This escalation was framed as retaliation for a previous attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir, where 26 individuals were killed. India's government claimed the strikes targeted terrorist infrastructure while asserting that no military establishments were hit. In contrast, Pakistan's defense minister condemned the strikes, asserting that civilian areas were targeted and promising a response. Eyewitness accounts and initial media reports highlighted the severe humanitarian impact, drawing concern and calls for investigation.
We can confirm at least seven civilian areas have been targeted by Indian missiles fired from Indian airspace. We are in the process of retaliating.
The Indian government said in a statement that nine targets had been hit in the strikes, which it said were launched as a response to an attack on Hindu tourists.
