In his first reaction to the Indian missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Punjab province, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said it is as an ‘act of war’ and said his country has every right to give a ‘befitting reply.’

In retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes early Wednesday, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed, the Indian Army said.

Pakistan Army spokesman Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said at least eight people were killed and 35 others injured in Indian missile attacks on cities in Punjab and PoK, Geo News reported.

Army spokesman Chaudhry, in an earlier morning press conference statement, said that a total of 24 impacts have been reported by India, with different weapons, in six localities.

“In these six localities, eight Pakistanis have been killed, 35 have been injured and two are missing,” he said.

He said that in Bahwalpur’s area of Ahmedpur East, Subhan mosque was targeted. “Here, there were four strikes and five Pakistanis were killed, including a three-year-old girl. Thirty-one civilians have been injured, including 25 men and six women,” he said.

He said the mosque was destroyed, while four quarters in which people were living were also destroyed. He said that in Muzaffarabad, the Bilal mosque was targeted.

“There were seven impacts, in which one girl was injured and a mosque was destroyed,” he said. While in Kotli, Abbat mosque was targeted.

“There were five impacts and two people died, including a 16-year-old girl and an 18-year-old boy. A woman and her daughter are both injured,” he said.

He also said, “In Muridke, Umalkura mosque was targeted and there were four strikes. One man has been killed, while another is injured. Two people are missing,” he said.
