India has carried out multiple military strikes inside Pakistan, targeting nine sites
The strikes came after tension between the two countries following a deadly attack on tourists in the disputed region of Kashmir last month plunged relations between India and Pakistan to new lows.
India accused Pakistan of backing the massacre, in which 26 men, mostly Indian Hindus, were killed, a charge Pakistan denies.
Pakistan’s military spokesperson said the attacks Wednesday killed eight people and injured 38 others.
India’s Defence Ministry said at least nine sites were targeted “where terrorist attacks against India have been planned.”
In a statement, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharifsaid “Pakistan has every right to give a robust response to this act of war imposed by India, and a strong response is indeed being given.”
The Indian army claims that Pakistan fired artillery along what’s known as the de facto border in Bhimber Gali in India-controlled Kashmir.
