Pakistan 'attacked with missiles' - as India says it targeted terrorist camps

Pakistan says it has been targeted in a missile attack by India.

Pakistani security officials said India fired three missiles across the border.

The missiles hit locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the country's eastern Punjab province, according to officials.

The Indian defence ministry said it had targeted "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir "from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed".

A Pakistan military spokesman said the country will respond to the attacks.

Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours ramped up following a militant gun attack in the disputed area of Kashmir last month.

At least 26 people, most of whom were Indian tourists, were shot dead by gunmen at a beauty spot near the resort town of Pahalgam in the Indian-controlled part of the region on 22 April.

India described the massacre as a "terror attack" and said it had "cross border" links, blaming Pakistan for backing it.

Pakistan denied any connection to the atrocity, which was claimed by a previously unknown militant group called the Kashmir Resistance.

Since the attack, Pakistan's military has been on high alert after a cabinet minister said Islamabad had credible intelligence indicating that India could attack.
