Indian missiles attacked targets in Pakistan, killing three and injuring 12.
The Indian government announced that Indian missiles had struck targets in Pakistan on Tuesday night.
The attacks were part of Operation Sindoor, an operation that India said targeted "terrorist" infrastructure in Pakistan, including parts of Kashmir it administers.
The Indian military said it had targeted a total of nine locations. They said their operations were "focused, measured and non-dispersive in nature" and that no Pakistani military installations were targeted.

The statement said the attacks came in the wake of a "brutal" attack in Kashmir last month that killed 25 Indians and a Nepali national.
India's army posted the words "Justice has been served" on the social media platform X.
Multiple loud explosions were heard in the Pakistani Kashmir region near the mountains surrounding the city of Muzaffarabad after midnight on Tuesday.
The missile attacks come after weeks of tension between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
Pakistan said it would respond to the attacks,
"They have targeted multiple locations, all civilians... We have confirmed reports that three civilians, including a child, have been killed," Mr Asif said.
The Pakistani military said the five locations include three in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and two in the country's most populous province of Punjab, Bahawalpur and Muridke.
AFP correspondents in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Punjab heard several loud explosions.
"We will retaliate at the time we decide," said Pakistani military spokesman Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, describing the attacks as a "vile provocation."
India was widely expected to respond militarily to an attack on tourists in Kashmir last month by militants from the Pakistani group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which killed 26 people.
India accused Pakistan of supporting the attack, which led to several threats and diplomatic measures.
Pakistan denies the allegations, and according to the Indian military, the two sides have been exchanging fire at night along the de facto border in Kashmir since April 24.
Shortly after India's attacks on Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, India accused Pakistan of violating the ceasefire by firing artillery across the Line of Control in Kashmir.
"Pakistan has again violated ceasefire by firing artillery in Bhimber Gali in Poonch-Rajouri sector," the Indian Army said in a post on Exil (formerly Twitter).
She added that the army was "responding appropriately and decisively." But India said the attack was "focused" and the conflict was not intense.
