People living along the border areas in occupied Kashmir have been asked to shift to safe places, local police have told Reuters.

The instructions follow after an overnight escalation with India as it attacked six sites in Pakistan. Subsequently, five Indian jets were downed by the Pakistani military in retaliation.
