ISLAMABAD — Pakistan armed forces said they are targeting military sites in India after India fired missiles at three air bases in Pakistan’s Punjab province early Saturday, bringing the nuclear-armed rivals closer to war.

President Trump also announced the cease-fire, saying it had been mediated by the United States, although only Pakistan quickly acknowledged an American role.

Blasts were heard in Srinagar and Jammu and projectiles and flashes were seen in the night sky over Jammu, similar to the events of the previous evening, according to authorities, residents and Reuters witnesses.
