Overview

  • India accuses Pakistan of launching rocket and drone attacks on military installations in Jammu, Kashmir, and Punjab, claims Pakistan denies.
  • Nighttime artillery and drone exchanges continue along the disputed border, with at least 17 Indian civilian deaths reported since Wednesday.
  • India claims to have neutralized Pakistani threats, while Pakistan insists it has not conducted offensive operations in Indian-administered areas.
  • International actors, including the US, EU, and Iran, urge both nations to de-escalate and engage in dialogue to prevent further escalation.
  • The conflict, rooted in the 1947 partition, has reignited following an April 22 terror attack in Kashmir that killed 26 tourists, with India blaming Pakistan for the assault.
