India strikes Pakistan
India says it has launched missile strikes on nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Pakistan says Indian missile attacks on its territory have "ignited an inferno in the region," and Delhi shall bear the responsibility for its consequences. It said twenty six people were killed in the attacks. After a meeting of its National Security Committee, Pakistan said it reserved the right to respond. India said it had targeted terrorist camps at nine locations, in response to a deadly militant attack on tourists in Kashmir two weeks ago.
Also, the former US President, Joe Biden, has condemned Donald Trump's position on Ukraine - saying that putting pressure on Kyiv to give up territory to Russia amounts to "modern day appeasement".
And cardinals from around the world have gathered in the Vatican to begin the secretive process of electing a new Pope.
