ISLAMABAD, May 10 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan on Saturday launched an offensive operation against India amid continuous provocation, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan army, said in a statement.
The ISPR said the operation "Bunyanun Marsoos," meaning concrete structure, has been initiated and that multiple targets are being engaged all across India, the ISPR statement said.
The ISPR said that an air base in Udhampur in Indian-controlled Kashmir has been destroyed, adding that an airfield in Pathankot district of India's Punjab province has also been targeted and destroyed.
Meanwhile, attacks on various other places are in progress.
Official sources told Xinhua that the BrahMos missile storage facility in the Indian city of Beas had been reportedly destroyed in the initial strike.
The development came after India launched air-to-surface missiles at three air bases in Pakistan, a spokesperson for the Pakistani army said in the wee hours of Saturday.
Earlier this week, the director general of the ISPR said that at least 31 people were killed and 57 others injured in an Indian attack on Pakistani territory and subsequent exchanges of fire between Pakistani and Indian troops along the Line of Control, the de facto border between the two neighbors.

'Technology Must Complement, Not Replace, Human Mind In Judicial Decision-Making': CJI Gavai
The CJI said that complex legal issues often require an understanding of human context, societal implications, and ethical dilemmas that AI, in its current form, cannot fully grasp Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai delivered a keynote address on the 'Role of Technology in the Indian Legal System" at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. His speech emphasised that technology should complement, not replace, the human element in judicial decision-making. The CJI highlighted the irreplaceable value of discretion, empathy, and nuanced judicial interpretation. While acknowledging the transformative potential of technological advancements, he delineated clear boundaries for their application within the judiciary. 'Though the judiciary welcomes innovations like automated cause lists, digital kiosks, and virtual assistants," he stated, 'it must ensure that human oversight, ethical guidelines, and robust training are integral to their implementation." This perspective reflects a cautious yet progressive stance. The Indian judiciary has indeed embraced various technological advancements to enhance efficiency and accessibility. Automated cause lists streamline case management, digital kiosks improve public access to information, and virtual assistants aid in administrative tasks. However, the CJI's address underscored the fundamental difference between processing information and exercising judgment. He elaborated that complex legal issues often require an understanding of human context, societal implications, and ethical dilemmas that artificial intelligence, in its current form, cannot fully grasp. Judicial interpretation frequently involves delving into legislative intent, societal norms, and the unique circumstances of each case, demanding human reasoning, ethical considerations, and a capacity for empathy that transcends algorithmic processing. 'Technology must complement, not replace, the human mind in judicial decision-making," the CJI said, adding, 'The emphasis must always be on using technology to enhance trust and transparency—never to replace the human conscience at the heart of justice." The CJI's remarks signal that while technology can vastly improve the procedural aspects of justice delivery, making processes faster, more transparent, and accessible, the ultimate responsibility and the nuanced decision-making power must remain firmly with human judges.
