In a dramatic overnight operation, India said it launched missile and air strikes on nine sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Pakistan said only six locations were hit but 26 people have been killed and 46 injured.

It also claimed to have shot down five Indian fighter jets and a drone - a claim India has not confirmed. India's army later said at least 15 civilians were killed by Pakistani shelling on its side of the de facto border.

The strikes sent shockwaves through the region, with residents jolted awake by thunderous explosions. A resident in a town in Indian-administered Kashmir, close to the Line of Control, describes being woken by loud explosions.

"The night was shattered by the sound of loud explosions and heavy gunfire. It felt like the whole town was shaking. I could feel the booms getting closer, and I knew something serious was happening."
