At least 3 civilians have been killed and several wounded in Indian-administered Kashmir amid heavy exchanges of artillery fire between Indian and Pakistani forces.
Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar warned India to face Pakistan’s “very fierce response,” after India fired missiles killed at least eight people including a child.
India’s missiles struck 9 locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the country’s eastern Punjab province. Reportedly, one strike hit a mosque in the city of Bahawalpur in Punjab, where a child was killed and a woman and man were injured.
While casualties have reported on both sides and Pakistan has claimed that it has shot down five Indian aircraft. “So far, I can confirm to you that five Indian aircraft – including three Rafale, one SU-30 and one MiG-29 – and one Heron drone have also been shot down,” Pakistan military spokesperson Lt-Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhary has said in a video shared by Reuters. However, India has not responded to the claims yet.
