A Pakistani armed forces spokesperson confirmed to the BBC in an interview that the IAF had targeted Bahawalpur and Muridke. India has categorically stated that its actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature and that no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India's action comes two weeks after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.
