All doctors and medical staff in Punjab's hospitals have had their leaves cancelled, said News.Az, adding that officers and staff from civil defence and other relevant departments have been called to duty.
In a statement, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that the Pakistani military is taking action against the Indian agreasion, although he did not provide specific details regarding the nature of the response.
Reports from Pakistani television, citing security officials, indicated that the Pakistani Air Force successfully intercepted and shot down five Indian fighter jets.
According to Reuters, sources revealed that heavy exchanges of fire were occurring between the Indian and Pakistani armies at three different locations along the Kashmir border.
Furthermore, Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif reported that all locations targeted by India were civilian areas rather than militant camps, asserting that India's claim of targeting terrorist facilities was untrue.
Pakistani military spokesperson confirmed that the Indian attack resulted in the deaths of at least three individuals and injuries to twelve others. The spokesperson also mentioned that preparations for Islamabad's response to the missile attack are underway, highlighting that at least two mosques were among the targets of the Indian assault.
The Pakistani military emphasized that India will face a thorough and decisive retaliation.
On the other hand, the Indian military accused Pakistan of breaching the ceasefire agreement in Jammu and Kashmir once again.
Reuters reported, based on an Indian military statement, that an operation was conducted to target terrorist infrastructure in both Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in strikes on nine Pakistani positions.
The Indian military affirmed that no Pakistani military installations were targeted, adding in a Twitter post, 'Justice has been served.'

Belgium interrogates two Israelis over Gaza war crimes - War on Gaza
Belgian authorities said on Monday that they had briefly held and questioned two israeli citizens who attended an electronic music festival, after pro-Palestinian groups accused them of war crimes. Prosecutors said they received legal complaints saying that two Israeli soldiers responsible for "serious violations of international humanitarian law" in Gaza were spotted at the Tomorrowland festival near the northern city of Antwerp last week. The federal prosecutor's office said it had "asked the police to locate the two people named in the complaint and to interview them". "Following these interviews, they were released," it said in a statement. The office said that it took action after concluding that Belgian courts have extraterritorial jurisdiction over alleged war crimes. "No further information will be given at this stage of the investigation," the office said. The pair have not been named. Last week, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), a Belgian pro-Palestinian organisation, said it had identified two Israeli soldiers "responsible for grave international crimes" in Gaza among the crowds at Tomorrowland. It said that a group of young Israeli men was seen at the festival waving a flag of the Givati Brigade, an Israeli military unit involved in the killings in the Palestinian territory. HRF said it then filed a complaint with prosecutors in association with the Global Legal Action Network, a lawyers group specialising in human rights violations. One of the world's largest electronic music festivals, Tomorrowland draws music enthusiasts from all over the world. About 400,000 people are expected to attend the event this year over two weekends. Israel has killed more than 58,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

France Blocks RT Editor's Account on X Platform
Israa Farhan France has blocked the X (formerly Twitter) account of Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT and the international media group Rossiya Segodnya, in a move that highlights the increasing restrictions on Russian media in Europe. Simonyan confirmed the suspension via her Telegram channel, stating that she was unaware of the reason behind the decision. She remarked that she had not posted anything that could justify the action and questioned whether it was politically motivated. The account ban comes amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Western countries following the Russian military campaign in Ukraine. Since the outbreak of the conflict, the European Union has implemented widespread sanctions and restrictions targeting Russian state media outlets, including RT and Sputnik. As part of these measures, access to RT and Sputnik has been blocked across EU member states. Their websites remain inaccessible through Google in Europe, and their channels have been restricted or removed from platforms including YouTube and Meta-owned services like Facebook and Instagram. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
