Tensions mount as Pakistani PM vows retaliation for military strikes by India that killed dozens across the country
Tensions are high across India and Pakistan, with airports shut down and security drills under way in major border cities, after warnings by Pakistan that it intended to retaliate for Wednesday’s strikes.
In a speech late on Wednesday night, the prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said he would “solemnly swear that we will avenge each and every drop of blood of our martyrs”, after India’s missile airstrikes on Pakistan in the early hours of Wednesday, which killed 31 people across the country.
