India fired three missiles across the border into Pakistani-controlled territory early Wednesday, Pakistani security officials said, amid soaring tensions between the countries over last month's militant attack in India's portion of Kashmir.

The missiles struck locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the country's eastern Punjab province, according to three security officials. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media on the record.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, and no immediate announcement about the attack from the military or the government.

India said, "Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted." After the attack, Indian army wrote on X - Justice is served, Jai Hind.

Pakistan says India fired missiles across the border into Pakistani-controlled territory striking at least three locations early Wednesday, killing a child and wounding two other people.

India said it was striking infrastructure used by militants. Tensions have soared between the nuclear-armed neighbors over last month's militant attack on tourists in Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan for backing the militant attack, which Islamabad has denied. The missiles early Wednesday targeted areas in Kotli, Muridke, Bahawalpur, and Muzaffarabad.

Canada’s Inflation Rises to 3.1%, Raising Prospects of Interest Rate Hike by Year-End

Economists believe the Bank of Canada could raise interest rates by the end of 2026 following the release of the country’s September inflation figures. According to Statistics Canada, the annual inflation rate climbed to 3.1 per cent, driven by higher oil and gas prices, moving above the Bank of Canada’s target range of 1 to 3 per cent. However, underlying inflation has eased, offering some relief to the central bank. Ongoing trade tensions with the United States and the crisis in the Middle East could put further upward pressure on inflation. According to KPMG Canada, the Bank of Canada i
