India on Wednesday said it had struck Pakistan with missiles, nearly two weeks after 26 people were killed by armed militants in the India-administered Kashmir valley.

At least 38 deaths were reported, with Islamabad saying 26 civilians were killed by the Indian strikes and firing along the border, and New Delhi adding at least 12 dead from Pakistani shelling.

Pakistan called the early-morning attack an "unprovoked and blatant act of war."

"We strongly condemn India’s cowardly action, which is a flagrant violation of the UN Charter, international law and established norms of inter-state relations," Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. "India’s reckless action has brought the two nuclear-armed states closer to a major conflict."

Pakistan's air force shot down five Indian jets, the country's Defence Minister told Reuters. The Indian army said at least three civilians were killed by Pakistani artillery fire along the de facto border that divides disputed Kashmir between the two countries.

'Act of war'

Nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir were attacked as part of Operation Sindoor, India's Defence Ministry said.

New Delhi said the attacks were “focused and non-escalatory”, and no “Pakistani military facilities were targeted”.

“A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed,” it said.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said five locations had been hit in the "cowardly" attack.

"Pakistan has every right to give a befitting reply to this act of war imposed by India and a befitting reply is being given," Mr Sharif's office said.

Residents in Mendhar and Poonch along the Line of Control in Jammu district were out on the streets as loud explosions were heard in the frontier towns after India's missile attack. One person was reportedly killed in Mendhar after heavy shelling.

India and Pakistan have fought three wars, while a three-decade armed insurgency has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people.

A Pakistani military spokesman told broadcaster Geo that two mosques were among the sites hit by India. The Pakistani defence minister told Geo that all the sites were civilian and not militant camps.

He said India's claim that it was attacking terrorist camps "is false".

The offensive came as Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was in the Pakistani capital Islamabad.

Pahalgham attack

Two weeks ago, 25 tourists and a pony-ride operator died after militants opened fire in the resort area of Pahalgam, known as a "mini Switzerland", in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22. India blamed Pakistan for the attacks but Pakistan denied any involvement.

The Resistance Front, an extremist group, claimed responsibility for the brutal attack. India accuses Pakistan of backing militant groups in Kashmir, a charge denied by Islamabad.

Jammu and Kashmir is ruled by India and Pakistan in parts but has been claimed by both in its entirety since British colonialists left the subcontinent in 1947.

Kashmir has been in the grip of an armed rebellion against New Delhi’s rule, which has killed tens of thousands of people.

After the Pahalgam attack, India suspended all visas to Pakistani citizens and put a water treaty on "abeyance", depriving Pakistan of river water crucial for its irrigation. It also banned trade.

Pakistan in retaliation closed its airspace for Indian carriers and expelled Indian diplomats.

Calls for restraint

The UN said that Secretary General Antonio Guterres is "very concerned" about the Indian military operations. Mr Guterres called for "maximum military restraint from both countries".

"The world cannot afford a military confrontation between India and Pakistan," a UN statement said.

US President Donald Trump called the attacks a "shame". Speaking at the White House in Washington, Mr Trump said that "I just hope it ends very quickly".

Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval briefed US Secretary of State Marco Rubio shortly after New Delhi's strikes on Pakistan, AFP quoted the Indian embassy as saying.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, called on India and Pakistan to exercise restraint, de-escalate tension and avoid further escalation that could threaten regional and international peace, Wam reported.

Sheikh Abdullah also stressed the importance of heeding the voices calling for dialogue and mutual understanding to prevent military escalation, strengthen stability in South Asia and avoid further regional tensions.

UK politicians have also urged restraint, with Scotland's First Minister John Swinney and Labour MP Stella Creasy saying they were "deeply" concerned by the escalation in violence, while former Tory minister Lord Ahmad warned the "potential for war tonight is real", PA reported.

Strait of Hormuz

Fujairah is a crucial hub for fuel storage and is just outside the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route linking Middle East oil producers to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond.

The strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction. Almost a fifth of oil consumed across the world passes through the strait.

Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait, a move that would risk inviting geopolitical and economic turmoil.

Last month, Iran issued a new warning that it would block the strait, if it was prevented from using the waterway following a US decision to end exemptions from sanctions for major Iranian oil importers.

Another way to earn air miles

In addition to the Emirates and Etihad programmes, there is the Air Miles Middle East card, which offers members the ability to choose any airline, has no black-out dates and no restrictions on seat availability. Air Miles is linked up to HSBC credit cards and can also be earned through retail partners such as Spinneys, Sharaf DG and The Toy Store.

An Emirates Dubai-London round-trip ticket costs 180,000 miles on the Air Miles website. But customers earn these ‘miles’ at a much faster rate than airline miles. Adidas offers two air miles per Dh1 spent. Air Miles has partnerships with websites as well, so booking.com and agoda.com offer three miles per Dh1 spent.

“If you use your HSBC credit card when shopping at our partners, you are able to earn Air Miles twice which will mean you can get that flight reward faster and for less spend,” says Paul Lacey, the managing director for Europe, Middle East and India for Aimia, which owns and operates Air Miles Middle East.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood

Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.

Defence review at a glance

• Increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 but given “turbulent times it may be necessary to go faster”

• Prioritise a shift towards working with AI and autonomous systems

• Invest in the resilience of military space systems.

• Number of active reserves should be increased by 20%

• More F-35 fighter jets required in the next decade

• New “hybrid Navy” with AUKUS submarines and autonomous vessels

Managing the separation process

  • Choose your nursery carefully in the first place
  • Relax – and hopefully your child will follow suit
  • Inform the staff in advance of your child’s likes and dislikes.
  • If you need some extra time to talk to the teachers, make an appointment a few days in advance, rather than attempting to chat on your child’s first day
  • The longer you stay, the more upset your child will become. As difficult as it is, walk away. Say a proper goodbye and reassure your child that you will be back
  • Be patient. Your child might love it one day and hate it the next
  • Stick at it. Don’t give up after the first day or week. It takes time for children to settle into a new routine.And, finally, don’t feel guilty.
