Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called India’s missile strike as “cowardly attacks”. Tensions between India and Pakistan have heightened amid fears of an all-out war and India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ has prompted Pakistan’s response who have issued statements of revenge.

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has spoken with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio “shortly after” India early Wednesday carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and briefed him on the actions taken, the Indian Embassy in Washington DC said.
