India’s military says it intercepted Pakistani drones and missiles targeting two military bases in Indian-administered Kashmir and another base in India’s Punjab state. Pakistan’s defense minister denied the claims, saying his forces have yet to retaliate after India launched a wave of airstrikes early Wednesday. Separately, police in Pakistan-administered Kashmir said overnight artillery fire killed five people, including a newborn baby, bringing the death toll on Pakistan’s side to at least 36 people. Meanwhile, India says Pakistani shells have killed 16 people on its side of the Line of Control that divides Kashmir. This is a resident of the border town of Uri in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Revina Begum: “Our livestock and belongings are all gone. Nothing is left. This shelling must stop, and there should be peace. For God’s sake, give us peace. We want peace for everyone.”

Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s social media site X said it blocked 8,000 accounts in India under orders from Narendra Modi’s government. Among those censored were the Pakistani channel Geo News HD and the newspaper Dawn. A spokesperson said X “disagreed” with the Indian government’s demands even as the company complied with the order.
