Media captionBalakot: India launches air strike in Pakistan
Pakistan says it will respond "at the time and place of its choosing" after India launched strikes against militants in Pakistani territory.
India said it had killed a large number of militants but Pakistan called the claim "reckless".
Tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours have been high following an attack on Indian troops in Kashmir.
The attack was claimed by a group based in Pakistan, Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and India had vowed to retaliate.
India accuses Pakistan of allowing militant groups to operate on its territory, something Pakistan denies.
Viewpoint: India strikes in Pakistan a major escalation
What is militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad?
Why India and Pakistan dispute Kashmir
Both India and Pakistan claim all of Muslim-majority Kashmir, but control only parts of it. The two have fought three wars and a limited conflict since independence from Britain in 1947 - and all but one were over Kashmir.
The strikes are the first launched across the line of control - the de facto border that divides India-administered Kashmir from Pakistan-administered Kashmir - since a war between the two countries in 1971.
What happened?
The two sides have given different versions of events. Indian officials said the strikes hit a camp in Balakot, in north-west Pakistan.
Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said a "large number" of militants were killed, defending the raids as a "pre-emptive strike" to stop further JeM attacks.

Residents in Balakot told the BBC they were woken by loud explosions but there has been no confirmation of casualties.
The Pakistani army denied there were any casualties. It said its jets forced Indian planes to withdraw and drop their "payload" in an sparsely inhabited area.
