State-run Pakistan Television said Saturday that retaliatory attacks are underway after India fired missiles at three air bases inside Pakistan. It did not give details, and it was unclear which military locations in India were being targeted.

鈥淢ultiple locations in India are being targeted in the retaliatory attacks,鈥 the state-run media reported.

India fired missiles at three air bases inside Pakistan but most of the missiles were intercepted, Pakistan鈥檚 army spokesman said Saturday. It鈥檚 the latest escalation in a conflict triggered by a gun massacre last month that India blames Pakistan for.

Here is the latest:

A security official said a local air base had activated its defense system to take down a drone. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

The official did not give further details, including the number of drones or if they were Indian.
