By Gibran Naiyyar Peshimam and Ariba Shahid ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Pakistan said it launched a military operation against India early on Saturday, targeting multiple bases including a missile storage site in northern India as the neighbours extended their worst fighting in nearly three decades.
