No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution," it said.A spokesman for Pakistan's military told broadcaster ARY that India had attacked Pakistan with missiles in three places and that Pakistan would respond.Punjab's provincial chief minister said a state of emergency had been declared in the Pakistani province and hospitals and security forces were on high alert.Pakistan's defence minister told TV channel Geo that India's claim of "targeting terrorist camps … [was] false", while its foreign ministry said India had "violated Pakistan's sovereignty".The development comes amid heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours in the aftermath of an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir last month.LoadingPosted 1h ago1 hours agoTue 6 May 2025 at 9:16pm, updated 8m ago8 minutes agoTue 6 May 2025 at 10:22pmShare optionsCopy linkFacebookX (formerly Twitter)Top StoriesThree dead after India strikes nine Pakistan sites, officials sayLIVECourt orders release of 'vicious' CCTV footage after three-year legal battleTopic:CrimePhoto shows External images of Reiby Youth Detention Centre.Who won the election culture wars?
