Pakistan has launched attacks on “multiple targets” across India, according to the media wing of Pakistan’s military.

In a statement, Pakistan said it has unleashed Operation Bunyan ul Marsoos (Solid Wall of Steel) in response to what it calls “continuous provocation” by India.

“Multiple targets in this operation are being engaged all across India,” the statement added.

Pakistan’s military said it used medium-range Fateh missiles to strike a missile storage facility and airbases in Pathankot and Udhampur.

The AP news agency said loud explosions have been heard in Indian-controlled Kashmir, in the disputed region’s two big cities of Srinagar and Jammu, and the garrison town of Udhampur.

Meanwhile, an Indian military source told Reuters that India has launched air operations in Pakistan, although no further details were given.

Pakistan’s military posted footage on X showing missiles being fired from what appeared to be a mobile launcher.

    IMO

    Modi is Trump light, but Pakistan is led by a combination of ignorance, misogyny, and incompetence that is geopolitically destabilizing.

      He’s not “light”, he’s built his whole campaign around the hate towards Muslims in India. If something goes wrong in India, this is what he tries to do:

      1. Blame Pakistan
      2. If not possible to Pakistan, blame Muslims in India
      3. If not possible neither, act as if it’s not a problem and stay that the situation is worse in North Korea

      On the same time, he jails political opponents and media outlets that have courage to be critical of him. His Adani buddy is way more powerful in India than Trump’s Musk in the US, and does equally if not worse things

        India is bad but Pakistan is not any better. There are no good sides to support in this conflict, both are worth each other
