PAKISTAN says it has launched a military operation against India with missile and drone strikes on 25 targets.
It is the latest escalation in tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals after a week of clashes on the border and in Kashmir.
Pakistan's military said it used medium-range Fateh missiles to strike more than 25 military sites.
They claimed to have attacked airbases and weapons depots in the Indian states of Gujarat, Punjab and Rajasthan, as well as locations in India-administered Kashmir.
Pakistan dubbed the attack "Operation Bunyan ul Marsoos", named after a verse from the holy book of Islam, the Quran.
At least 13 civilians were killed in Pakistani Kashmir on Saturday, with a further 50 injured, the region's disaster authority said.
