One of the airbases reported to have been hit, Nur Khan, is in Rawalpindi – 10km (6.2m) from Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.

Earlier this week, India struck targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in response to a deadly militant attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam last month – Islamabad denies involvement

Both sides accuse each other of cross-border shelling and missile and drone attacks since India launched its military operation.

Pakistan says 36 people have been killed by Indian air strikes and firing. India says at least 16 people were killed by Pakistani shelling on its side of the de facto border

Indian-administered Kashmir has seen a decades-long insurgency which has claimed thousands of lives. India and Pakistan both claim Kashmir in full.

In a broadcast on state television earlier, Lt General Chaudhry, of the Pakistani military, said that although the majority of India’s missiles were intercepted by air defence systems, others made it through.

He went on to say that the country’s forces are “fully prepared”, and called the strikes “cowardly”.

One of the bases Pakistan claims was hit is Nur Khan, in Rawalpindi, the home of the country’s military headquarters. It’s located 10km (6.2m) from Pakistan’s capital Islamabad.

As a reminder, India has not commented on the claims being made this evening.
