Pakistan on Wednesday issued a strongly worded condemnation of Iran's "violation of its airspace", during which Tehran claimed to have targeted two bases belonging to the Jaish al-Adl militant group.
It also warned the neighbouring country that such actions can have "serious consequences".
Iran on Tuesday launched attacks in Pakistan, targeting what it described as bases for the militant group, the country's state media reported, potentially raising tensions in a Middle East already roiled by Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The attack took place a day after similar Iranian strikes in Iraq and Syria.  Pakistan also summoned the Iranian charge d'affaires to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to convey its "strongest condemnation of this blatant violation" of its sovereignty.  The Foreign Office of Pakistan also described Iran's act as "unprovoked violation of its airspace" in its statement.  According to reports, Iran hit the bases of the militant group with missiles and drones.

The US launched a new strike against the Yemen-based Houthis on Tuesday, hitting anti-ship missiles in the third assault on the Iranian-backed group in recent days, a US official said.
The strike came as the Iranian-backed Houthis claimed responsibility for a missile attack against the Malta-flagged bulk carrier Zografia in the Red Sea. No one was injured. The vessel had been heading north to the Suez Canal when it was attacked, the Greek Shipping and Island Policy Ministry said.
This latest exchange suggested there has been no let-up in Houthi attacks on shipping in the region, despite the massive US and British assault on the group on Friday, bombing more than 60 targets in 28 locations using warship- and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets.
The Houthis' military spokesman, Brig Gen Yahya Saree, said in a pre-recorded statement that it fired after the ship's crew refused to answer warning calls and that the vessel was heading for a port in Israel. According to th

Describing India as an outlier in terms of trust levels in various institutions, DPIIT Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh on Friday said trust in elections and other institutions continues to remain robust in the country.
Speaking here at a session on '4.2 billion people at the ballot box' at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2024, Singh said the election is a mammoth exercise in India and follows a very detailed procedure-based system.
"We have delivered credible elections for over 75 years, of which 25 years have been through electronic voting machines," he said, adding that he himself has been involved in the election process in various roles earlier in his career as a civil servant.
Asked about the issues before this year's election, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Secretary said bread and butter issues and development would be among key factors like any other country, while the performance of the present government in the last ten years would
