Pakistan's military has reported that India launched six ballistic missiles targeting three air bases within Pakistan. The targeted bases include Nur Khan air base in Rawalpindi, Murid air base in Chakwal, and Rafiqui air base in the Jhang district of eastern Punjab province. According to Pakistan's army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, most of the missiles were intercepted, but some also hit India's eastern Punjab and even went into Afghanistan. The missiles were fired from Adampur, with one hitting Adampur and the remaining five landing in the Indian Punjab area of Amritsar. The strikes are the latest escalation in a conflict that intensified following a gun massacre in India-controlled Kashmir on April 22, which left 26 civilians dead, mostly Hindu Indian tourists, and which India attributes to Pakistan. In response to the missile attacks, Pakistan has initiated retaliatory strikes against multiple locations in India, using medium-range Fateh missiles to target an Indian missile storage facility and airbases in Pathankot and Udhampur, though specific targets have not been disclosed. The situation has heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors, with Pakistan's military describing the Indian actions as a 'provocation of the highest order.' The Indian army had previously reported sightings of drones in 26 locations across Indian states bordering Pakistan and Indian-controlled Kashmir, indicating heightened military activity in the region. On Wednesday, India conducted airstrikes on several sites in Pakistani territory, killing 31 civilians according to Pakistani officials, and Pakistan claimed to have shot down five Indian fighter jets.
