Pakistan ready for revenge, Armed Forces receive authorization to attack India
Pakistan has said the country's armed forces have been authorized to take "appropriate action" following the Indian attacks, Reuters reports.
India attacked Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir on Wednesday evening, in the fiercest fighting between the two nuclear-armed nations for decades.
Pakistan claimed to have shot down five Indian aircraft during the attack. Indian defense ministry officials have not confirmed the figure.
India claimed to have struck nine targets it described as "terrorist infrastructure".
India has attacked Pakistan with missiles as relations between the two countries have been at a peak of tensions in recent weeks.
The Indian armed forces have confirmed that they have targeted nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir as part of "Operation Sindoor".
A statement said that the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, from where terrorist attacks against India were planned and directed, had been hit.
India said its actions have been "focused, measured and non-escalating in nature" and that no Pakistani military installations have been targeted.
Relations between India and Pakistan have deteriorated sharply following a deadly militant attack on tourists in Kashmir last month. India accuses Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism, a charge Islamabad categorically denies.
