India’s missile and bomb strikes on targets in Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir have prompted multiple attacks in retaliation between the nuclear-armed neighbors to the point that some are now calling it a de facto war.

Pakistan said India fired missiles at three airbases inside the country Saturday but most of the missiles were intercepted and that retaliatory strikes on India were underway. It's the latest escalation in a conflict triggered by a massacre last month that India blames Pakistan for.

The reported missile strikes come amid escalating tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals of India and Pakistan.
