Officials say flash floods triggered by torrential rains have killed over 280 people in India and Pakistan and left scores of ...

Among them is Pakistan’s assertion that it shot down five Indian fighter jets on May 7, the first day of fighting, in response to Indian attacks on its territory.

The drone incident follows Indian missile strikes on Pakistani locations that killed 31 civilians a day earlier, including women and children, according to officials.

In Pakistan, an unusually intense night of artillery exchanges left at least four civilians dead and wounded 12 others in areas near the Line of Control that divides Kashmir.

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told broadcaster Geo News that Islamabad would only strike Indian military targets and not civilians, in retaliation.

The Pakistani military claims to have shot down five Indian fighter jets, including three French-made Dassault Rafales, one MiG-29, and one Su-30, as well as one Heron unmanned aerial system.

Islamabad said it condemned terrorism in all forms and will respond "assuredly and decisively" to any military action from India.

India’s military said the strikes were in retaliation for a militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. Analysts warned that the risk of escalation is rising.
