India-Pakistan Tensions Escalate After Kashmir Attack

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated following a recent tourist massacre in Kashmir, leading major airlines like Air France and Lufthansa to avoid Pakistan's airspace. The attack, which killed 26 civilians, has sparked a series of escalatory moves between the two nuclear-armed rivals, including military exercises and the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty. The conflict has significant economic and cultural implications, with potential impacts on Pakistan's economy and the halt of cultural exchanges between the two countries.

India and Pakistan are on the brink of war after India launched a series of strikes on what it called 'terrorist infrastructure' in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The attack comes more than two weeks after militants massacred 26 civilians, mostly tourists, in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Pakistan said the attack killed at least eight people, including children, and shot down five Indian Air Force jets and a drone. India has not confirmed the fighter jet losses. The escalation has raised concerns about a potential full-scale war between the two rival neighbors, with China expressing regret over India's military action and concern about the current developments.

India and Pakistan have escalated their long-standing conflict with India launching military strikes on targets in Pakistan, and Pakistan claiming to have shot down five Indian Air Force jets in response. The strikes targeted 'terrorist infrastructure' across nine sites in Pakistan's Punjab province and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Pakistan reported eight civilian casualties and 35 wounded, describing the strikes as 'an act of war.' The situation is volatile, with both sides exchanging shelling and gunfire, and the international community urging restraint.
