India fired missiles across the border into Pakistani-controlled territory in at least three locations early Wednesday, killing at a child and wounding two other people, Pakistani security officials said. India said it was striking infrastructure used by militants.
What to know:
- Attack in Pahalgam: India has moved to punish Pakistan after accusing it of backing the attack in Pahalgam, in the disputed territory of Kashmir. Islamabad denies the attack, driving tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals to their highest point since 2019, when they came close to war after a suicide car bombing in Kashmir. The region is split between India and Pakistan and claimed by both in its entirety.
- Pakistanis forced to leave: The deadline for Pakistani citizens to leave India, with exceptions for those with medical visas, passed on Sunday, but many families were still scrambling to the border crossing in Attari town in northern Punjab state.
- Fire along the frontier: On Wednesday, India and Pakistan accused each other of initiating the gunfire. The incidents could not be independently verified. In the past, each side has accused the other of starting border skirmishes in the Himalayan region.
