India launches air strikes on 'terrorist camps' inside Pakistan: Islamabad says at least two war planes were shot down with dramatic escalation leaving nuclear-armed states teetering on the brink of war | 6 May 2025 | India fired missiles across the border into Pakistani "terror camps" in Kashmir, days after it blamed Islamabad for a deadly attack on the Indian side of the contested region. The long-simmering conflict between the neighboring nuclear powers intensified dramatically overnight. Fighter jets roared through the skies over the Himalayan territory early Wednesday and the sounds of explosions could be heard near the so-called Line of Control. Eight people have died including two children, a spokesperson for the Pakistani military told BBC. At least 35 Pakistanis have been injured, while two people are currently missing. India has claimed that "no Pakistani civilian, economic or military targets have been hit" in the missile attacks, although Pakistani officials claimed this was not the case and civilians including women and children had been targeted.
