Pakistan announced that 26 people were killed and 46 injured following Indian missile strikes on Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, and Kotli. The Pakistani military stated that civilian areas and mosques were targeted in the 24 attacks launched from six locations.
Pakistani forces claim to have shot down 5 Indian fighter jets and 1 drone, while also striking an Indian position along the Line of Control. The Indian military confirmed the strikes under “Operation Sindoor.” Tensions escalated after India accused Pakistan of involvement in an April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which Islamabad denies.
