Pakistan launches attack on India as conflict escalates

The conflict between Pakistan and India escalated early Saturday as both sides targeted each other’s air bases and blamed the other for hitting them first.

The Pakistani military said it began a strike against India in retaliation for recent “Indian aggression,” according to CNN. The country also said it struck India’s Pathankot Airfield and Udhampur Air Force Station as part of “Operation Bunyan al-Marsus.”
