Pakistani newspaper Dawn cited the country's information ministry announcing that Pakistan's Cabinet Committee on National Security will have an extraordinary session this evening to discuss the escalation of tensions with Iran, following the countries' cross-border strikes earlier this week.
 
Caretaker Prime Minister, Anwaar ul Haq Kakar, who cut short his visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos due to the recent events, will chair the meeting, according to what interim Information Minister, Murtaza Solangi, told the newspaper. 

Pakistan strikes Iran

The Pakistan military carried out overnight strikes in Iran, an intelligence official said Thursday, a couple of days after Tehran attacked positions of the Jaish ul-Adl terrorist group in Pakistan.

"I can only confirm that we have conducted strikes against anti-Pakistan militant groups that were targeted inside Iran," a senior intelligence source not authorized to give information to the media told AFP.

Later, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry announced that the Pakistani military carried out military strikes against what it called "terrorist hideouts" in Iran.

In a statement, Islamabad said it respects Tehran's sovereignty, adding that the "sole objective of today's act was in pursuit of Pakistan’s own security and national interest."

Iranian state media reported that three women and four children were killed after the explosions in the country's southeast.

"Pakistan attacked an Iranian border village with missiles," state television said, adding that "three women, four children were killed, all non-Iranian nationals."
