Analysis Summary:

The article is mostly accurate, reporting on the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan. The claim about retaliatory attacks is supported by multiple sources. However, the article's reliance on Pakistani state media as a primary source introduces a potential for bias, and the specific details of the attacks require further verification.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** Pakistan says India has fired missiles on its air bases.
  • Verification Source #4: Supports this claim, stating "The reported attacks came as drone warfare was expanding the conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors."
  • Verification Source #1: Mentions India launching drones at air defense sites.
  • Verification Source #5: States "India fired attack drones into Pakistan on Thursday..."
• Conclusion: Supported by multiple sources.
• Claim:** State-run Pakistan Television immediately said that retaliatory attacks were underway targeting "multiple locations in India."
  • Verification Source #1: Does not directly confirm retaliatory attacks but implies an escalation of tensions.
  • Verification Source #2: Mentions Pakistani shelling on the Indian side.
  • Verification Source #3: Does not directly confirm retaliatory attacks.
  • Verification Source #4: Does not directly confirm retaliatory attacks.
  • Verification Source #5: Does not directly confirm retaliatory attacks.
• Conclusion: Partially supported. While the sources confirm escalating tensions and exchanges, the specific claim of "retaliatory attacks underway targeting multiple locations in India" is not explicitly confirmed by independent sources. The article relies on Pakistani state media for this claim.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Verification Source #4: "The reported attacks came as drone warfare was expanding the conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors." This supports the claim of attacks.
• Verification Source #5: "India fired attack drones into Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least two civilians, the Pakistani military has said..." This supports the claim of Indian attacks, but attributes the information to the Pakistani military, highlighting a potential source of bias.
• Verification Source #2: "India has said the initial missile strikes were a response to a deadly..." This provides context, suggesting India's actions were a response to prior events.
• The lack of direct confirmation from independent sources regarding the "retaliatory attacks underway targeting multiple locations in India" raises concerns about the accuracy and potential bias of this specific claim. The article's reliance on Pakistan Television for this information is a limitation.
