Pakistan's Foreign Ministry has protested to India over the strikes.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan summoned the Charge d'affaires of India, protesting the strikes that led to the deaths and injuries of civilians, the agency reported on May 7.
"It was conveyed that India's blatant act of aggression is a clear violation of Pakistan's sovereignty. Such actions are contrary to the UN Charter, international law and established norms governing interstate relations," the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
It is noted that the Pakistani authorities have strongly rejected India's unfounded excuses for the country's hostile behavior.
"The Indian side has been warned that such reckless behavior poses a serious threat to regional peace and stability," the agency adds.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted that Russia is deeply concerned about the intensification of military confrontation between India and Pakistan. She stressed that Moscow strongly condemns acts of terrorism, opposes any of its manifestations, and also emphasizes the need to unite the efforts of the entire international community to combat it.
On May 7, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, during which they carried out nine attacks on the terrorist infrastructure of Pakistan and the occupied Jammu and Kashmir. In turn, Pakistan retaliated after the attacks from the Indian side. It was clarified that the country's air force shot down three Indian Air Force fighter jets, including two Rafale aircraft.
Later, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry reported that the nuclear-weapon states were approaching a major conflict against the background of the "reckless actions" of the Indian side. Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Director General of the Public Relations Department of the Pakistan Army (ISPR), reported at least eight dead civilians, two missing and 35 injured as a result of Indian strikes on Pakistan.
