India-Pakistan Exchange Strikes: Nuclear Powers Clash
Following Indian airstrikes on Pakistani territory, targeting Kotli, Bahawalpur, and other locations, resulting in civilian casualties including a child, Pakistan retaliated by downing two Indian jets. The Pakistani military reported damage assessments underway, with the ISPR director general vowing a response at a time and place of Pakistan’s choosing. US President Trump condemned India’s actions as a “shame,” while Pakistan closed its airspace and summoned a National Security Committee meeting.
