India and Pakistan blame each other for escalating military tensions\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\n

    \n
  • We received a flurry of reports of explosions and sirens in city of Jammu, in Indian-administered Kashmir<\/li>\n
  • India’s army later accused Pakistan of firing missiles and drones at two military bases in Indian-administered Kashmir, and another in India’s Punjab district<\/li>\n
  • Pakistan’s defence minister denied Islamabad was responsible for any attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, telling the BBC that when Pakistan does strike, “it will be known all over the world”<\/li>\n
  • Before that, Pakistan said it shot down 25 Indian drones overnight. Delhi has not commented<\/li>\n
  • Meanwhile, the US and other countries are urging both sides to de-escalate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    It comes after…<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • A dramatic overnight operation on Tuesday, in which India said it launched missile and air strikes on nine sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir<\/li>\n
    • Pakistan said only six locations were hit and claimed to have shot down five Indian fighter jets and a drone – a claim India has not confirmed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Islamabad said 31 people have been killed and 57 injured by air strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and firing along the Line of Control<\/li>\n
      • Meanwhile, India’s army says at least 16 civilians were killed by Pakistani shelling on its side of the de facto border<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        For context…<\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        • India has said the initial missile strikes were a response to a deadly militant attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam last month. Islamabad denies involvement<\/li>\n
        • Indian-administered Kashmir has seen a decades-long insurgency which has claimed thousands of lives. India and Pakistan both claim Kashmir in full<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
