Pakistan has launched attacks on "multiple targets" across India, according to the media wing of Pakistan's military.

In a statement, Pakistan said it has unleashed Operation Bunyan ul Marsoos (Solid Wall of Steel) in response to what it calls "continuous provocation" by India.

"Multiple targets in this operation are being engaged all across India," the statement added.

Pakistan's military said it used medium-range Fateh missiles to strike a missile storage facility and airbases in Pathankot and Udhampur.

The AP news agency said loud explosions have been heard in Indian-controlled Kashmir, in the disputed region's two big cities of Srinagar and Jammu, and the garrison town of Udhampur.

Meanwhile, an Indian military source told Reuters that India has launched air operations in Pakistan, although no further details were given.

Pakistan's military posted footage on X showing missiles being fired from what appeared to be a mobile launcher.

If this escalates into a all out war I'm curious to see whose side the average Lemmy user will be taking. I tried doing some research into the history of this conflict and it seems so messy that from my point of view pretty much both sides are to blame.

I'm not informed enough to take a side.

I'm on the side of the civilians like in the Israel-Hamas-Conflict

IMO

Modi is Trump light, but Pakistan is led by a combination of ignorance, misogyny, and incompetence that is geopolitically destabilizing.

Not sure how "light" I'd call that fucker

The ultimate colprit is British colonialism, and the way the border is drawn after they left

Yeah they caused the problem but they won’t be able to solve it at this point. It’s not like they could just go and redraw the lines.

That's my intrepretation of it as well but that doesn't really offer any solutions or clarity to the current situation. In most conflicts like this you can always go even further back in history to justify your cause.
