Tensions Escalate: India and Pakistan Clash in Renewed Military Conflict
India launched strikes on Pakistani territory, targeting 'terrorist sites,' leading to the worst hostilities in over 20 years. Pakistan claimed civilian casualties and vowed to retaliate. Both countries have since engaged in heavy shelling along their shared de facto border, further straining the tense relationship.
India's recent military strikes on Pakistani territory have reignited tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours, marking the most significant conflict in over two decades.
India claimed its actions targeted 'terrorist infrastructure,' accusing Pakistan of harboring militants responsible for recent attacks in Indian Kashmir. Islamabad, denying these allegations, reported civilian casualties and has promised a determined response.
Heavy cross-border shelling has ensued, and the international community, including the U.N. and major powers, urges restraint to avoid a further escalation of the conflict.
