Pakistan launched multiple attacks along India's western border

The Indian Army reported on Friday that Pakistan launched "multiple attacks" using drones and other munitions across India’s entire western border, intensifying the India-Pakistan conflict following recent airstrikes by India on alleged terrorist camps in Pakistan.

Multiple attacks were launched by Pakistan's armed forces using drones and other munitions along India's entire western border, the Indian Army said.

This marks a dangerous escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors, who have been locked in conflict since India’s airstrikes against Pakistan on Wednesday.

Those strikes, according to New Delhi, targeted "terrorist camps" in Pakistan in response to the deadly Pahalgam attack in Kashmir last month. India has blamed Islamabad for its role in that attack, an allegation Pakistan denies.

Since then, both nations have exchanged cross-border firing and shelling, with drones and missiles entering each other’s airspace, and nearly four dozen people reported dead as violence has intensified across the de facto border in Kashmir and beyond.
