Pakistan and India have vowed to strike each other after a deadly blitz killed dozens.
Pakistan's Prime Minister blamed India for igniting an "inferno" in the region after bombing his country overnight and has now authorised his troops to fire missiles back.
New Delhi, meanwhile, has said it is prepared to retaliate against Pakistan if it does return fire.
Speaking to Pakistan's parliament in Islamabad today, PM Shehbaz Sharif said: "the responsibility for ensuing consequences shall lie squarely with India."
He said: "The nation stands galvanized and resolute in the face of any further aggression."
Fears of all-out war are growing as Islamabad says India’s missile strikes deliberately targeted civilians – killing innocent men, women and children – in what it branded a “cowardly and unlawful act of war”.
Sharif said the armed forces are now “authorised to undertake corresponding actions”, vowing to respond “at a time, place, and manner of its choosing”.
India insists it only hit terror infrastructure in a planned operation, striking nine sites used by militants - and denies targeting civilians or military facilities.
Pakistan claimed to have shot down five Indian warplanes in response to the blitz.
Heavy gunfire also broke out along the volatile Line of Control in Kashmir.
