At least eight people were killed and 35 injured early Wednesday after India launched missile strikes across six locations in Pakistan, including Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, according to a statement from Pakistan's military spokesperson reported by Geo News.
The incident marks one of the most severe escalations in recent years between the nuclear-armed neighbors, reigniting fears of cross-border instability. While details remain sparse, analysts warn the strikes could further strain diplomatic ties already frayed by territorial disputes and historical tensions.
