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.

                  Jammu is not Kashmir. Ladakh is not Kashmir. Kashmir is Kashmir. The name of the place is Jammu & Kashmir because that’s how India administers it. The demography, geography, and even the languages are separate.

                    Okay and? What point are you even trying to make? Because that’s an administrative distinction that has no relation at all to the subject at hand.
