This is a very serious and concerning development. The situation sounds incredibly tense, with the potential for further escalation. It's a stark reminder of the fragility of peace in that region and the devastating consequences of conflict.
Here are some key points that stand out from your description:
* **Escalation of Violence:** The strikes and casualties on both sides represent a significant increase in hostilities.
* **Differing Narratives:** India and Pakistan have completely different accounts of the targets and nature of the strikes, which makes finding a path to de-escalation even more difficult.
* **Civilian Casualties:** The claim of civilian casualties is particularly alarming and raises serious humanitarian concerns.
* **"Act of War" Declaration:** Pakistan's characterization of the operation as an "act of war" is a very strong statement and indicates the gravity with which they view the situation.
This situation has the potential to have far-reaching consequences, not just for India and Pakistan, but for regional and global security. It's a moment that requires careful diplomacy and restraint from all sides.
It's crucial to follow reliable news sources for updates and analysis on this developing situation.

00:00In the light of day, the damage assessment.
00:04Locals say this mosque in Pakistan-administered Kashmir was destroyed by an Indian missile overnight.
00:11Other strikes hit targets deep into Pakistani territory.
00:16It has been destroyed in front of you.
00:18In the night, the entire neighborhood was in fear and panic, and the entire population fled.
00:23We strongly condemn this cowardly attack by India.
00:26In some places, the explosions knocked out power, forcing people into the streets in the middle of the night.
00:38There was a loud noise of 10 to 12 shells, and we saw them coming from above, but we don't know where in the city they hit.
00:44But the noise was very loud. The whole city was scared.
00:47We were apprehensive that India will attack Pakistan without justifiable cause, and they have done so.
00:53And Pakistan has defended itself.
00:56Heavy shelling continued throughout the night and into the morning across the line of control,
01:02catching more people on both sides in the crosshairs.
01:06I was on duty. Suddenly, shelling started, and I was injured in the shelling.
01:12The worst affected, as always, as I've often argued, are going to be the people in the region, the Kashmiris,
01:19who are caught between the competing and proprietorial and rival postures and attitudes of India and Pakistan.
01:26Tensions have been high since an attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last month.
01:33Twenty-six people were killed.
01:36India blamed Pakistan for the violence, but Pakistan denies any involvement and says India has presented no evidence.
01:44Now, with the heavy presence of security forces across both sides, many are waiting to see if this escalates any further.
