Pakistan launched strikes on India today after New Delhi fired missiles at Pakistani air bases, in a standoff between the two nuclear powers that has killed about 50 civilians since Wednesday.
Explosions were heard this morning in the city of Srinagar, in the Indian part of Kashmir, a disputed area between the two countries.
The Indian military said Pakistan had carried out drone strikes at several points along its western border.
At the same time, two explosions were heard this morning in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, where the headquarters of the general staff and intelligence services are located.
The G7 countries called for “de-escalation”, and the United States offered to mediate to calm tensions.
China also appealed to India and Pakistan, the two neighboring nuclear powers, to avoid escalation.
