India claimed that no military sites were targeted in its strikes and that there had been no reports of civilian casualties.
Pakistan, however, said Wednesday’s strikes had harmed civilians and targeted mosques across six locations in its territory.

Residents of Pakistan-administered Kashmir say they were forced to flee their homes and take shelter after India launched missile strikes on its neighbor.
"All of a sudden, the electricity went out. I thought a transformer [had] burst, but later came to know that Indian troops started shelling and firing at us," Raja Shahid Bashir, a resident of Shawai in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, told CNN.
"Shells landed close to our home and we came out and took our livestock and belongings and took shelter," said Bashir.
Another resident, kra32.at Shakeel Butt, told CNN she had to flee when shells started falling on the village. "A shell landed at a house close to the mosque in which two people were injured. Shells also hit other houses in our area and we fled from our area to a safer place," she said.
India’s military said it had struck nine "terrorist camps" in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. At least 26 civilians were killed due to Indian army action, a Pakistan military spokesperson said, according to the Reuters news agency. Pakistan said it retaliated by shooting down five Indian Air Force jets and a drone. India has not confirmed the fighter jet losses.
Zeeshan Akram, a resident of Muridke in Pakistan’s Punjab province, told Reuters that drones appeared in the early hours of Wednesday and struck a mosque in the city, destroying it.
"They hit the mosque directly—destroyed its courtyard, the minister’s office in front of the mosque, and the roof. Everything was crushed. There was one person sitting on the roof, on duty, he was martyred," Akram told Reuters.
"Fear and terror spread in people. People had gone out into the fields, in the open, just like that," Waqas Ahmed, another resident of Muridke, told Reuters.
