Indian armed forces carried out precision strikes only at identified military targets in response to Pakistan's actions.

Pakistan and India — which have been locked in hostilities after a gun massacre last month — fired missiles at each other Saturday, prompting U.S. calls for the nuclear-armed neighbours to begin talks to defuse their escalating most most intense conflict since 1999.

India and Pakistan are once again on the brink of conflict. India has shelled Pakistani airbases, including one near Islamabad. The Pakistani army reported that it responded with a military operation against India.
