STORYLINE:
There was tight security near Nur Khan air base in the garrison city of Rawalpindi on Saturday as Pakistan said India fired missiles at three air bases inside the country.
A group of people gathered nearby to protest.
A military spokesman said Indian missiles targeted Nur Khan air base, Murid air base in Chakwal city and Rafiqui air base in the Jhang district of eastern Punjab province.
There was no media access to the air base in Rawalpindi, a densely populated city, and no immediate reports of residents hearing or seeing the strike or its aftermath.
Pakistan said most of the missiles were intercepted and that retaliatory strikes on India were underway.
The Pakistani military said it used medium-range Fateh missiles to target an Indian missile storage facility and airbases in Pathankot and Udhampur.
Army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, said Pakistan’s air force assets were safe following the Indian strikes, adding that some of the Indian missiles also hit India’s eastern Punjab.
State-run Pakistan Television reported that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has convened a meeting of the National Command Authority, the body responsible for overseeing the country’s missile program and other strategic assets.
Tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals have soared since an attack at a popular tourist site in India-controlled Kashmir left 26 civilians dead, mostly Hindu Indian tourists, on April 22.
New Delhi has blamed Pakistan for backing the assault, an accusation Islamabad rejects.
