At this point, it is unlikely that it'll escalate into a nuclear conflict. But definitely, as Pakistan has mentioned, they will be responding. The US and China have been urging caution.”She says the Indian strikes were launched at 1:45am, New Delhi time.Nine targets were hit, according to the country’s military, while Pakistan says five sites were hit, with around three people killed.Here's Meghna:Loading...Copy linkKey Event2h agoTue 6 May 2025 at 10:30pmPakistan says two mosques were hit in attacksMBy Maddy MorwoodA Pakistani military spokesman told broadcaster Geo that sites struck by India included two mosques.Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said all the sites targeted by India were civilian and not militant camps.He said India fired missiles from its own airspace and that India's claim of targeting "camps of terrorist" was false.Copy linkKey Event2h agoTue 6 May 2025 at 10:25pmUN chief 'very concerned' and calls for restraintMBy Maddy MorwoodUnited Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is very concerned about Indian military operations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, his spokesperson says."The Secretary-General is very concerned about the Indian military operations across the Line of Control and international border.
