Pakistan’s top security committee to meet in a few hours

Indian army launched “Operation Sindoor”, hitting nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

At least eight people were killed and 35 injured while two were missing after India launched missile attacks inside Pakistan, a spokesperson for the Pakistani Army said on Wednesday (May 7).

Following the attack, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has called a meeting of its National Security Committee (NSC) at 10:00PST (05:00 GMT) on Wednesday, according to the country’s information minister.

Delhi has said that the strikes were in response to the militant attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people.

Pakistan has called the strikes a “cowardly attack” and that it would respond to them at a place and time of its choosing.
