Pakistan responds to India's missile attack

Pakistan is responding to India's unilateral missile attack, expressing deep concern. Islamabad claimed that a long-range missile fired from India in the border area late Monday night hit Pakistani territory. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry called the incident "disrespectful and provocative."

Immediately after the incident, the Pakistani army put on high alert and deployed additional troops in the border area. At the same time, Pakistan has also taken some military countermeasures, the country's defense ministry said.

A source close to the Pakistani army said that a limited counter-missile attack was carried out along the Line of Control around Tuesday afternoon. The attack was called a "specific response" and it was reported that an Indian military observation post was damaged. The Pakistani government said that it kept the attack limited to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

"Pakistan is a peace-loving country, but we will not compromise on the issue of the country's sovereignty," a spokesman for the Pakistani defense ministry said. "We have already responded to India's aggression and will respond more forcefully if necessary."

On the other hand, the Indian government has not yet made any official comment on the matter. However, military sources said that high-level meetings are underway on the border situation and the Indian army is ready to deal with all kinds of 'expected threats'.

The incident has raised concerns in the international community. The United Nations and the United States have called on both sides to show restraint. Experts say that such tensions between the two nuclear-armed states could pose a serious threat to the security of South Asia.

Now, the focus is on the next steps of Islamabad and New Delhi. Despite the heated situation, international pressure is increasing to resolve the problem through diplomatic talks.
