India Fires Missiles Into Pakistan, Officials Say

India fired missiles into Pakistani-controlled territory Wednesday, killing at least one person and injuring two others, according to Pakistani officials.

India said in a statement that it was targeting at least nine sites “where terrorist attacks against India have been planned.”

A Pakistani security official told The Associated Press that a missile hit a mosque in Bahawalpur in Punjab, killing a child and injuring a woman and man.

The attack comes as tensions have been escalating between the two nuclear-armed neighbors after a group of militants attacked tourists in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir 15 days ago, killing 26 people and injuring more than a dozen

India accused Pakistan of being involved in the attack, which the Pakistani government denied. The two countries have fought over Kashmir, a region that they share, for decades.

This is a developing story.
