India launched missile strikes into Pakistani-controlled territory, resulting in at least 26 deaths, including a child, which Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned as an act of war. In retaliation, Pakistani shelling killed at least 10 in Indian-administered Kashmir, and Islamabad claimed to have shot down several Indian fighter jets. The escalating tensions stem from a recent attack by gunmen that killed 26 people in Kashmir, with India accusing Pakistan of involvement, a claim Pakistan denies.
