(Al Jazeera Media Network) Pakistan’s military says it has downed 25 Indian drones over its territory, while India says it thwarted a Pakistani drone and missile attack on its military.

Heavy exchanges of artillery fire have been reported along the Line of Control dividing India and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

India says at least 13 people have been killed and more wounded in Indian-administered Kashmir due to Pakistani fire.

India says “Operation Sindoor” targeted “terrorist” infrastructure; Pakistan says missiles hit mosques and killed civilians in a blatant “act of war”.

Tensions have been escalating between the two nuclear-armed countries since a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, which India blamed on Pakistan. Pakistan has denied any involvement.
