India strikes Pakistan with missiles in 'act of war', 26 people dead; DFA warns Irish citizens to avoid border areas between two countries
Briefly

A serious escalation occurred as India attacked multiple sites in Pakistani Kashmir, claiming to target terrorist infrastructure linked to recent attacks on Indian civilians. Meanwhile, Pakistan reported downing five Indian fighter jets and called the Indian strikes a 'blatant act of war', raising tensions significantly between the two nuclear powers. Civilians have been heavily affected, with reports of casualties on both sides. The conflict resurgence has raised concerns internationally, prompting both nations to reiterate their military postures and claims.
"Islamabad called the assault a 'blatant act of war' and stated it had informed the U.N. Security Council about its rights to respond appropriately to Indian aggression."
"India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution," said the Indian defence ministry, amidst escalating tensions and combat in the region.
