Pakistan's military announced on Wednesday that the death toll from Indian missile strikes and border firing has climbed to 26 innocent civilians.
"Until now, 26 innocent civilians have been martyred in attacks," said military spokesperson Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, underlining the human cost of the latest skirmishes along the Pakistan-India frontier.
The flare-up has reignited regional tensions, drawing international concern over the safety of communities near the border and prompting urgent calls for diplomatic de-escalation to prevent further loss of life.
