Today's Highlighted Video Story:  India and Pakistan have accused each other of drone strikes, a day after India struck Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Pakistan said it has shot down 25 drones overnight, while India said it has neutralised "drones" and "missiles". The BBC has not independently verified the claims by either side. Pakistan said 31 people have been killed and 57 injured by air strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and firing along the Line of Control, since Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, India's army said at least 16 civilians were killed by Pakistani shelling on its side of the de facto border.
