Islamabad: Pakistan and India exchanged strikes and attacks on military installations today, amid regional and international calls for direct talks between the two sides to defuse the worst conflict since 1999 between the two nuclear powers.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Pakistani military announced in a statement that its forces had successfully targeted and destroyed an Indian S-400 air defense system in Adampur, located in the Jalandhar district of Punjab, India, in an air strike today.

In this regard, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said in media statements that "if India stops here, we will consider stopping here."

Meanwhile, the Indian military, commenting on today's Pakistani military attacks, confirmed that all military actions were effectively countered and appropriately responded to.

For his part, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif denied any imminent nuclear threat, describing it as a very remote possibility. Asif told Pakistan's ARY TV: "We shouldn't even discuss it in the current context. Before we reach that point, I think things will calm down. No National Command Authority meeting has been held, and no date has been set for any such meeting."

The border areas between the two countries have seen military escalation, including missile strikes, artillery shelling, and drone attacks, following an attack in late April in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people in the tourist town of Pahalgam. Islamabad strongly denies any connection to the attack, at a time when international calls for calm are growing to avoid the situation sliding into an open confrontation between the two nuclear powers.
