India and Pakistan exchange artillery fire in major escalation of tensions as world leaders urge calm

Quick Summary:

Wednesday's strikes are a dangerous heightening of friction between the South Asian neighbours, who have fought multiple wars since 1947.

India's army said it had "demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution", adding that "no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted".

Earlier, Pakistan's military said three locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir had been hit along with two—Bahawalpur and Muridke—in the country's most populous province of Punjab.
