In­dia fired mis­siles in­to Pak­istani-con­trolled ter­ri­to­ry in sev­er­al lo­ca­tions ear­ly Wednes­day, killing at least 26 peo­ple in­clud­ing a child, in what Pak­istan’s leader called an act of war.

In­dia said it struck in­fra­struc­ture used by mil­i­tants linked to last month’s mas­sacre of tourists in the In­di­an-con­trolled por­tion of Kash­mir.

Pak­istan claimed it shot down sev­er­al In­di­an fight­er jets in re­tal­i­a­tion as two planes fell on­to vil­lages in In­dia-con­trolled Kash­mir. At least sev­en civil­ians were al­so killed in the re­gion by Pak­istani shelling, In­di­an po­lice and medics said.
