Pakistan says India fired missiles at three military bases
Pakistan says Indian forces carried out a missile attack targeting three of its military bases, but reports no damage.
A spokesperson for the Pakistani military said on state-run television on Saturday that the missiles were fired from Indian aircraft.
The spokesperson said the targeted bases were in the city of Rawalpindi near the capital Islamabad and other locations, but that most of the missiles were intercepted by air defense systems.
Pakistani state television cites sources as saying that retaliatory measures are underway.
The tit-for-tat military clashes between the two countries have been continuing for the past several days.
On Wednesday, the Indian military carried out a missile strike on the Pakistani side in retaliation for last month's deadly assault in the India-controlled part of Kashmir.
The two neighbors later accused each other of carrying out drone and other attacks. India says the country was hit by more than 300 drones from Pakistan from Thursday through Friday.

India and Pakistan battle for global sympathy after border truce
Two weeks after pulling back from the brink of all-out war, India and Pakistan are now racing to win over global opinion. Both sides are sending delegations to global capitals to influence international perception of the conflict, as tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals continue to simmer. New Delhi this week dispatched seven teams of diplomats and lawmakers to capitals of some 30 countries, including in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America as part of its publicity campaign. The delegates have been told to detail Islamabad's history of supporting militants, and its alleged involvement in the deadly April 22 attacks in the India-administered part of Kashmir, which triggered the latest conflict.
