INDIA fired missiles into multiple locations in Pakistan-controlled territory early today, intensifying a reignited conflict that has already claimed at least 31 lives.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the strikes as an “act of war,” while India said that it was targeting militant infrastructure linked to a recent deadly attack on tourists.

The strikes come amid soaring tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours following the April 22 massacre in the Indian-administered part of Kashmir, which left numerous tourists dead.
