India has launched air raids close to the border of Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. It is New Delhi's first military action in the aftermath of the worst attack on security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir in decades.
Pakistan says it reserves the right to respond to Indian air raids on its territory early on Tuesday morning and has called a meeting of its top nuclear command authority, as tensions peak between the South Asian neighbours.
India's foreign secretary said the "non-military pre-emptive action" targeted a training camp for armed group Jaish-e-Mohammed, which claimed a suicide attack earlier this month that killed 42 Indian security forces personnel and brought tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours to a boil.
