At least 26 died in Pakistan in an Indian attack last night, the military said
London – More than 26 people were killed and dozens were more injured overnight in Pakistan by Indian air strikes, said Pakistani officials, added that the attack was the same as “striking aggression.”
The strike, which began with a missile attack on Tuesday earlier, came in the middle of increasing tension when India continued to blame Pakistan for a deadly attack in April in the disputed Kashmir region. The militant attack, known as the Pahalgam incident, killed 26 people in Kashmir who was controlled by India.
