India launched missiles into Pakistani-controlled territory early Wednesday, according to Pakistani security officials, escalating already heightened tensions between the two nations following last month's militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.
The missiles reportedly struck sites in Pakistan-administered Kashmir as well as in the eastern Punjab province, the officials said. All three sources spoke on condition of anonymity, citing restrictions on publicly discussing the matter.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, and neither the Pakistani military nor government issued an official statement regarding the incident at the time of reporting.
The Indian Defense Ministry released the following statement on Tuesday, "A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed. Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted."
The statement continued, "Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution. These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable.
There will be detailed briefing on 'OPERATION SINDOOR', later today."

Praying this doesn't turn into a nuclear nightmare for the two countries. 
If my country was attacked, I would absolutely expect my govmint to use everything in their arsenal of weapons. Hopefully the leaders of these two countries don't get the trigger finger that I would have.

The Indian residents (hindus and Christians) in my apartment building are being very quiet tonight, and I'm not seeing very many of them outside at all.
Far fewer than usual number of muslim residents out and about, as well.

Also remind India to not kill non-hindus.
This year, India's leader declared hindu the official state religion.
India is very close to a hindu theocracy now.
India, Kashmir, and Pakistan all involved for a long time killing one another, fighting over territory and religion.
'No going back': Fleeing Kashmir amid violence, New Englanders reflect on war, beauty and healing

India fired missiles into Pakistan Wednesday two weeks after a massacre of civilian tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Witnesses said they were picnicking in a meadow on April 22 when men carrying guns ambushed them, demanding to know their religion. They ordered the victims to recite an Islamic declaration of faith, survivors said.Then, they shot and killed 26 men in front of their wives and children. Among the murdered – 23 Hindus, two Christians and a local Muslim tour guide. Witnesses said Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a pony guide, died fighting to protect the tourists.
India accused Pakistan of backing, what it called, a terrorist attack – a charge that Pakistan has denied.

The little bit of news I bothered with this morning announced that President Trump had mediated a cease fire between India and Pakistan which is VERY welcome news. Hoping it's true, because I didn't bother to check further to confirm.

The arch rivals were involved in intense firing for four days, the worst in nearly three decades, with missiles and drones being fired at each other's military installations and dozens of people killed.
A ceasefire agreement was reached after diplomacy and pressure from the United States, but within hours, artillery fire was witnessed in Indian Kashmir, the centre of much of the fighting.
Blasts from air-defence systems boomed in cities near the border under blackout, similar to the previous two evenings, according to authorities, residents and Reuters witnesses.
Late on Saturday, India said Pakistan had violated the understanding arrived to stop firing and that the Indian armed forces had been instructed to "deal strongly" with any repetition.
In response, Pakistan said it was committed to the ceasefire and blamed India for the violations.
