Pakistan decries act of war', vows retaliation as India launches strikes
Briefly

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned India's missile strikes along the contested Kashmir border as acts of war, prompting Islamabad to promise retaliation. During a national security meeting, officials decried injuries to civilians and labeled the attacks a violation of international law. India's military operation killed at least 26 people and caused mass evacuations. Pakistan claimed it responded by striking Indian military targets and downing warplanes, emphasizing escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations in this volatile region.
The deliberate targeting of civilians, including innocent women and children, by the Indian military constitutes a heinous and shameful crime, that is in violation of all norms of human behaviour.
Pakistan described India's acts as blatant violations of sovereignty and territorial integrity, which manifestly constituted acts of war under international law.
