India-Pakistan latest: Indian forces launch missile strikes against sites in Pakistani Kashmir
Multiple loud explosions were heard in several places in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir on Wednesday as India said it had attacked "terrorist infrastructure" in nine sites and Pakistan vowed to respond to the attacks.
After the explosions, power was blacked out in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir, witnesses said. It was not immediately clear what the explosions were.
"A little while ago, the Indian armed forces launched 'Operation Sindoora', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed," the Indian government said in a statement.
"Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution," it said.
A spokesman for Pakistan's military told broadcaster ARY that India had attacked Pakistan with missiles in three places and that Pakistan would respond.
The development comes amid heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours in the aftermath of an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir last month.
India blamed Pakistan for the violence in which 26 men were killed and vowed to respond. Pakistan denied that it had anything to do with the killings and said that it had intelligence that India was planning to attack.

Indian conspiracy theorists blame Pakistan for Boeing 787 Dreamliner tragedy as investigators probe cause of fatal crash
Indian conspiracy theorists are today making baseless claims that Pakistan is to blame for the Air India tragedy. The Gatwick-bound 787 Dreamliner jet was engulfed in a ball of flames in the Meghani area of the city just minutes after leaving the runway. There were 242 passengers on board the plane. Air India said there were 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese and one Canadian. Eleven of those on board were children, including two newborns. Two pilots and 10 cabin crew were also aboard. A British father sitting in seat 11A miraculously survived the fireball crash. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, spoke from the safety of a hospital bed after escaping from the fallen Flight 171 this morning. The passenger, who was in seat 11A when the plane came down in a residential area, recalled: 'Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly.' The cause of the crash is not yet known, but that hasn't stopped conspiracists making baseless claims on social media, with sabotage among the hypotheses being thrown about on X. Pakistani Foreign Minister and deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar said today he was 'saddened' by the deadly plane crash, writing on X: 'Condolences over the loss of precious lives in this tragic incident. Our sympathies are with the families of the victims in this hour of grief.' So far, rescue teams supported by the military have recovered 204 bodies, with casualties from the plane and the area surrounding the crash. Air India's Flight 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad Airport in Gujarat at around 1.40pm local time, officials said. Tata Sons, which owns Air India, will offer around £86,000 to the families of each person who died in the Ahmedabad plane crash, the company said. Aviation expert Sanjay Lazar noted that the Flight 171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was only 11 years old, so was unlikely to have underlying technical issues. The plane was under the command of captain Summeet Sabharwal, who had 8,200 hours of experience. It is the latest in a tragic spate of incidents involving crisis-hit Boeing and its planes. Just six days ago the plane maker reached a deal with the US Department of Justice to avoid prosecution over crashes involving a 737 Max plane that killed 346 people in Ethiopia and Indonesia in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Last December a Boeing jet skidded off a runway in South Korea, crashing into a concrete wall and causing the plane to burst into flames. All but two of the 181 people aboard the Boeing 737-800 were killed - the youngest victim being a three-year-old boy. Today's Air India flight reportedly reached an altitude of just 625 feet before it began to descend, according to flight tracking service Flightradar 24, which declared the plane's transponder signal dropped just seconds after it left the runway. 'We received the last signal from the aircraft at 08:08:51 UTC, just seconds after take off,' it said. India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation said the plane sent a mayday call moments before the crash. Air India's Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran shared a heartfelt statement that read: 'With profound sorrow I confirm that Air India Flight 171 operating Ahmedabad London Gatwick was involved in a tragic accident today. The plane momentarily disappeared from view behind trees and buildings before a massive fireball erupted on the horizon in this horrifying clip 'Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and loved ones of all those affected by this devastating event. At this moment, our primary focus is on supporting all the affected people and their families. 'We are doing everything in our power to assist the emergency response teams at the site and to provide all necessary support and care to those impacted.' Gatwick Airport subsequently confirmed the flight that was due to land at 6.25pm had crashed on departure. According to data logs recorded at 30-second intervals showed the plane remained on the ground or was taxiing slowly for over four minutes after it first registered on public trackers. The plane took off and reached 625ft, but no further gains in altitude were recorded before the crash. India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation said the plane sent a mayday call moments before the tragedy unfolded. Experts say the plane appeared to be exhibiting signs of engine failure - with a former pilot suggesting that it may have suffered multiple bird strikes as it took off. Former pilot Saurabh Bhatnagar told NDTV: 'From the footage I have seen, it looks like prima facie the case of multiple bird hits, wherein both engines have lost power. 'The takeoff was perfect and just I believe short of taking the gear up the aircraft started descending, which only happens if the engine loses power or the aircraft stops delivering the lift.' 'These are unconfirmed reports coming from the pilot fraternity,' he added. Mr Bhatnagar also observed that the jet appeared to come down in a 'controlled' fashion. 'Immediately after takeoff the landing gear was still up - so that means thereafter the aircraft coming down in a sort of controlled fashion. It was a distress situation.' Aviation security expert Julian Bray told MailOnline that he was concerned as the Dreamliner was, in his view, 'state-of-the-art'. He said: 'It's a Boeing Dreamliner that has gone down - not certain whether they've managed to get anybody off the plane. 'If it has indeed crash-landed and they can deploy the chutes out then they should be able to get people off in 90 seconds. 'I am aware there are fire appliances in attendance - this is a major incident. 'It is very disappointing that it is a Dreamliner as it is a state-of-the-art Boeing. 'We cannot rule out security issues. But this is all speculation on my part.' He added to Sky News: 'This is very, very worrying as it happened on departure. We don't know what's happened so if it happened on departure... obviously a major incident plan has been put in place. 'The Dreamliner is Boeing's 'star product', you might say, and it does have several backup systems and safety systems. We have to look at security issues and decide whether that is a factor here. 'We can only hope the passengers and crew on-board are safe. 'What I am worried about is if an incident has happened while it was taking off we have to look at the security side of things and work out where there was some evil intent behind this. 'Basically, the aircraft these days sort of fly themselves so there shouldn't have been a problem in taking off, especially with a Dreamliner. It has a good track record. We really need more detail. 'What I would to say to people gathering at Gatwick... you will find that on the operator's website there will be instructions, there will be an emergency number and they will confirm if the passenger is on board if you are a family member and they will take you through it and process it that way. 'We don't know whether anybody has managed to get away from this. I really hope so.'

45 minutes to pack up a lifetime as Pakistan's foreigner crackdown sends Afghans scrambling
The order was clear and indisputable, the timeline startling. You have 45 minutes to pack up and leave Pakistan forever. Sher Khan, a 42-year-old Afghan, had returned home from his job in a brick factory. He stared at the plainclothes policeman on the doorstep, his mind reeling. How could he pack up his whole life and leave the country of his birth in under an hour? In the blink of an eye, the life he had built was taken away from him. He and his wife grabbed a few kitchen items and whatever clothes they could for themselves and their nine children. They left everything else behind at their home in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. Born in Pakistan to parents who fled the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the ensuing war, Khan is one of hundreds of thousands of Afghans who have now been expelled. The nationwide crackdown, launched in October 2023, on foreigners Pakistan says are living in the country illegally has led to the departures of almost 1 million Afghans already. Pakistan says millions more remain. It wants them gone. Leaving with nothing to beat a deadline 'All our belongings were left behind,' Khan said as he stood in a dusty, windswept refugee camp just across the Afghan border in Torkham, the first stop for expelled refugees. 'We tried so hard (over the years) to collect the things that we had with honor.' Pakistan set several deadlines earlier this year for Afghans to leave or face deportation. Afghan Citizen Card holders had to leave the capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi city by March 31, while those with Proof of Registration could stay until June 30. No specific deadlines were set for Afghans living elsewhere in Pakistan. Khan feared that delaying his departure beyond the deadline might have resulted in his wife and children being hauled off to a police station along with him a blow to his family's dignity. 'We are happy that we came (to Afghanistan) with modesty and honor,' he said. As for his lost belongings, 'God may provide for them here, as He did there.' A refugee influx in a struggling country At the Torkham camp, run by Afghanistan's Taliban government, each family receives a SIM card and 10,000 Afghanis ($145) in aid. They can spend up to three days there before having to move on. The camp's director, Molvi Hashim Maiwandwal, said some 150 families were arriving daily from Pakistan — far fewer than the roughly 1,200 families who were arriving about two months ago. But he said another surge was expected after the three-day Islamic holiday of Eid Al-Adha that started June 7. Aid organizations inside the camp help with basic needs, including healthcare. Local charity Aseel provides hygiene kits and helps with food. It has also set up a food package delivery system for families once they arrive at their final destination elsewhere in Afghanistan. Aseel's Najibullah Ghiasi said they expected a surge in arrivals 'by a significant number' after Eid. 'We cannot handle all of them, because the number is so huge,' he said, adding the organization was trying to boost fundraising so it could support more people. Pakistan blames Afghanistan for militancy Pakistan accuses Afghans of staging militant attacks inside the country, saying assaults are planned from across the border — a charge Kabul's Taliban government denies. Pakistan denies targeting Afghans, and maintains that everyone leaving the country is treated humanely and with dignity. But for many, there is little that is humane about being forced to pack up and leave in minutes or hours. Iran, too, has been expelling Afghans, with the UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency, saying on June 5 that 500,000 Afghans had been forced to leave Iran and Pakistan in the two months since April 1. Rights groups and aid agencies say authorities are pressuring Afghans into going sooner. In April, Human Rights Watch said police had raided houses, beaten and arbitrarily detained people, and confiscated refugee documents, including residence permits. Officers demanded bribes to allow Afghans to remain in Pakistan, the group added. Searching for hope while starting again Fifty-year-old Yar Mohammad lived in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir for nearly 45 years. The father of 12 built a successful business polishing floors, hiring several workers. Plainclothes policemen knocked on his door too. They gave him six hours to leave. 'No way a person can wrap up so much business in six hours, especially if they spent 45 years in one place,' he said. Friends rushed to his aid to help pack up anything they could: the company's floor-polishing machines, some tables, bed-frames and mattresses, and clothes. Now all his household belongings are crammed into orange tents in the Torkham refugee camp, his hard-earned floor-polishing machines outside and exposed to the elements. After three days of searching, he managed to find a place to rent in Kabul. 'I have no idea what we will do,' he said, adding that he would try to recreate his floor-polishing business in Afghanistan. 'If this works here, it is the best thing to do.'

Sinister face behind Brooklyn Jewish terror plot revealed as suspect is hauled to America for justice
A Pakistani man accused of plotting a chilling ISIS-inspired mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn has been hauled to New York to face justice. Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, was extradited from Canada after allegedly scheming to unleash a terror attack targeting Jewish Americans with automatic rifles - on or around the anniversary of Hamas ' Oct. 7 massacre in Israel. Prosecutors say Khan aimed to 'kill as many members of our Jewish community as possible' in a horrifying attack meant to mirror the devastation of 9/11. Khan, who had been living in Quebec, was arrested last September by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) just 20 kilometers from the U.S. border. According to U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, Khan had been communicating with an undercover law enforcement officer posing as an ISIS sympathizer, laying out his entire plan - down to the AR-style rifles, ammunition, and getaway strategy. 'During one communication, Khan noted that "if we succeed with our plan this would be the largest attack on U.S. soil since 9/11",' prosecutors said in a statement. Khan began posting extremist propaganda online in late 2023 and soon connected with others via encrypted messaging apps, allegedly pledging support to ISIS and sharing attack blueprints with a U.S.-based co-conspirator. By August 2024, he allegedly switched his target to a Jewish community center in Brooklyn, with plans to carry out the shooting near the one-year mark of the Hamas-led rampage that left more than 1,200 people dead in Israel. Khan is now facing multiple charges in the U.S., including attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and attempting to commit terrorism transcending national borders. If convicted, he faces life in prison. The shocking case has sent ripples through Jewish communities in New York and beyond, with authorities praising the undercover operation that stopped the alleged plot before it could be carried out. The allegations have not yet been proven in court. The case comes amid rising fears over anti-Semitic violence nationwide—just days after a pro-Israel rally in Colorado was firebombed in what the FBI is calling a 'targeted terror attack.' Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, allegedly injured eight people—aged 52 to 88—after launching a Molotov cocktail-style attack at a peaceful rally in Boulder on Sunday during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Terrifying footage showed victims lying motionless beside Israeli flags as flames erupted. One man was reportedly set ablaze. Soliman, shirtless and holding bottles of alcohol, yelled 'End Zionists' and 'Free Palestine' before hurling incendiary devices into the crowd, according to the ADL. The FBI labeled it a 'targeted terror attack,' while Colorado's Attorney General said it appeared to be a hate crime. Soliman first entered the U.S. in 2022 on a visa under the Biden administration, overstayed it, and was later granted a work permit through 2025, officials confirmed. He was arrested without incident but also hospitalized for minor injuries. One victim remains in critical condition. Police evacuated several blocks around Boulder's Pearl Street Mall.
