The Pakistan Army said it fired a wave of short -range missiles to India early on Saturday, as tensions between nuclear armed neighbors escalated from a full war.

Pakistan said it launched the “Bonyn On Marco” operation-which was named after a mobile word means “lead wall”-in response to missile attacks and drones by India.

The Pakistan Army said it targeted a storage site for the fastest Brahamus missile in India in Biz, the Odhambur air field in the Indian Jammu and Kashmir region and an airport in Pathancot, also in Punjab.

The army said on Saturday that Prime Minister Shaybaz Sharif called for a meeting of the Pakistani National Command Authority, which is responsible for the leadership and monitoring of its nuclear arsenal. The Pakistan Airports Authority said that the airspace in the country will be closed until noon.

On Wednesday, India said it had carried out “accurate strikes” about what he said was terrorist camps in Pakistan and part of the disputed Kashmir region, which is run by Pakistan.

The attack was the most comprehensive military attack in India for its neighbor for decades, and it was in response to the mass shooting of 26 Indian and Nepalese citizen in Bahajam, a tourist center in the Indian director Kashmir, on April 22. India blames the attack on Pakistan gunmen, Pakistan Delies.
