World War III fears are slowly becoming a reality after India carried out horrifying missile attacks on Pakistani airbases as well as drone strikes in Afghanistan.

Blasts rang out across Indian-administered Kashmir and the city of Amritsar, which India again carried out in the Punjab state. However, India’s military says they were trying to shoot down drones, but Pakistan rejected the claims and shared electronic signatures of how India fired missiles into its own nation.

This has led to heavy cross-border artillery exchanges resuming. Pakistan’s army says there will be no talks for de-escalation with India until it has responded fully to India’s strikes that took place.

Pakistan’s information minister shared that his country has engaged only in a defensive response so far to India’s strikes on its nation.

At least 48 people have been killed so far, 32 of them from Pakistan, since India carried out missiles on Wednesday. It shared how it was attacking terrorist camps but failed to provide any sort of evidence.

Pakistan retaliated with a barrage of artillery strikes. The clashes follow escalating tension between the two nuclear-armed countries since a deadly attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir. Pakistan has chosen to shut its airspace after the hostility shown by India tonight.
