- NEW DELHI — India on Saturday said it had hit eight military installations in
Pakistan in response to the neighbouring country's "provocative"
action of targeting its defence infrastructure and civilian areas using drones,
long-range weapons and fighter jets.
-
- The Pakistani installations hit included a weapons depot
and control centres, India's military said as the two countries teetered on the
brink of full-scale war.
-
- Pakistan is also moving its troops into forward areas,
indicating an "offensive intent", to further escalate the situation,
an Indian military spokesperson said. India, stressed Colonel Sofiya Qureshi,
remains in a high state of operational readiness.
