Missiles hit six locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the country's eastern Punjab province on Tuesday (May 6), killing at least 26 people, including women and children, according to Pakistan's military spokesperson, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif.
India claims it has “evidence pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists” in the Pahalgam attack on April 22, but Pakistan has denied any link to the attack.
Officials have said 38 people were injured by the strikes. Another five people were killed in Pakistan during exchanges of fire across the border later on Tuesday.
India also said it hit infrastructure used by militants linked to last month's tourist massacre in the Indian-controlled portion on Kashmir.
