Pakistan has launched attacks on “multiple targets” across India, according to the media wing of Pakistan’s military.

In a statement, Pakistan said it has unleashed Operation Bunyan ul Marsoos (Solid Wall of Steel) in response to what it calls “continuous provocation” by India.

“Multiple targets in this operation are being engaged all across India,” the statement added.

Pakistan’s military said it used medium-range Fateh missiles to strike a missile storage facility and airbases in Pathankot and Udhampur.

The AP news agency said loud explosions have been heard in Indian-controlled Kashmir, in the disputed region’s two big cities of Srinagar and Jammu, and the garrison town of Udhampur.

Meanwhile, an Indian military source told Reuters that India has launched air operations in Pakistan, although no further details were given.

Pakistan’s military posted footage on X showing missiles being fired from what appeared to be a mobile launcher.

    The operation is over now, if you want the latest details, I begrudgingly suggest following the posts on r/Pakistan because there’s barely a Pakistani community on lemmy.

    Still active drones crossing the border, a ton of them shot down with lots of pictures and videos. Several videos of India and Pakistan’s airbases getting targeted and/or hit by missiles.

    India lost 3 jets already during their attack, but they seem to be penetrating Pakistan’s airspace well with drones and at the very least reaching close to critical targets.

    There’s also a very unconfirmed report of a pilot captured due to a video of what appears to be a parachute, but neither India nor Pakistan has made claims of any shot down jets today.
