Pakistan-India Exchange Missile Strikes; Fears of Wider Conflict Rise
Following alleged Indian missile strikes on three Pakistani air bases, Pakistan launched retaliatory strikes on multiple targets across India, utilizing Fateh missiles to hit over 25 military sites. These strikes reportedly targeted airbases and weapons depots in Gujarat, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Indian-administered Kashmir. Pakistan’s military subsequently called for dialogue and de-escalation, despite the significant escalation of the conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations. The G7 nations have urged both countries to exercise maximum restraint and pursue peaceful resolutions through direct dialogue.
