In a late-night press briefing, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif confirmed that eight Pakistani civilians were martyred and 35 others injured in a series of Indian missile strikes across six locations in Pakistan.
Flanked by Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, DG ISPR revealed that two civilians are currently missing. The attacks included 24 missile strikes, targeting areas such as Kotli, Muridke, Muzaffarabad, Shakargarh, Sialkot, and Ahmadpur Sharqia.
In Kotli, a strike on Masjid-e-Abbas claimed the lives of a 16-year-old girl and an 18-year-old boy, with a woman and her daughter sustaining injuries. In Muridke, another mosque was hit, resulting in one fatality, one injury, and two missing persons. The city suffered four separate missile hits that also damaged a residential area.
Sialkot’s Kotli Loharan village saw one missile fail to explode while another detonated in an empty area, causing no harm. In Shakargarh, two strikes damaged a local clinic, and in Muzaffarabad’s Shahiwali area, seven strikes destroyed Masjid-e-Bilal and wounded a young girl.
The deadliest incident occurred in Ahmadpur Sharqia, where four missile strikes hit Subhan Mosque, killing five people, including a three-year-old girl, and injuring 31 others—among them six women. The mosque and several nearby homes were also heavily damaged in the attack.
