- Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif vowed to avenge the civilian deaths without providing details, while India evacuated thousands near the highly militarized Line of Control.
- Two security officials confirmed Pakistan's air defenses downed a small Indian drone, though it was unclear if it was armed and India did not immediately comment.
- The incidents intensified fears of broader conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors given the ongoing escalation since April 22 and large civilian displacements.
