Pakistan has launched attacks on "multiple targets" across India, according to the media wing of Pakistan's military.

In a statement, Pakistan said it has unleashed Operation Bunyan ul Marsoos (Solid Wall of Steel) in response to what it calls "continuous provocation" by India.

"Multiple targets in this operation are being engaged all across India," the statement added.

Pakistan's military said it used medium-range Fateh missiles to strike a missile storage facility and airbases in Pathankot and Udhampur.

The AP news agency said loud explosions have been heard in Indian-controlled Kashmir, in the disputed region's two big cities of Srinagar and Jammu, and the garrison town of Udhampur.

Meanwhile, an Indian military source told Reuters that India has launched air operations in Pakistan, although no further details were given.

Pakistan's military posted footage on X showing missiles being fired from what appeared to be a mobile launcher.

I don't know if you are Pakistani or not but they claim none of Kashmir or Jammu or Ladakh. They claim that it should be an independent country.

I'm not Pakistani, but this information is easily available on Wikipedia.

Though these regions are in practice administered by their respective claimants, neither India nor Pakistan has formally recognised the accession of the areas claimed by the other. India claims those areas, including the area "ceded" to China by Pakistan in the Trans-Karakoram Tract in 1963, are a part of its territory, while Pakistan claims the entire region excluding Aksai Chin and Trans-Karakoram Tract.

-Wikipedia on Kashmir. Also if you open the Wikipedia page on Pakistan or India you'll find that Kashmir is highlighted as "territory claimed but not controlled". Also while I'm not familiar with the details, Indian repression is very much existent in all of Jammu and Kashmir.

At least read the link you are sharing my man. Also Wikipedia doesn't provide enough context for you to understand the conflict.

I did.

Also Wikipedia doesn't provide enough context for you to understand the conflict.

True enough, but I'm not trying to understand the conflict or making a deep point that would require such an understanding. I'm just saying that Kashmir division and Kashmir are different things. Also while they're not especially committed, both Pakistan and India have "we own Kashmir" as their official position. This isn't controversial stuff; it's literally what both sides are saying in public.

I know you guys are arguing, but I want to compliment both of you for pulling from good sources and trying to make relevant point to each other - I just went looking for anything useful on reddit and it’s full of clear brigading trying to crow the loudest about how they won and the other side wants to punch your dog.

So honestly, thank you for both being to a higher standard, even when you disagree.
