Indian markets largely shrugged off India’s strikes on targets in Pakistan, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex little changed and investors betting on India’s strong fundamentals, reforms, and resilient domestic demand. Analysts cite historical precedents (e.g., 2019) for contained market reactions during India-Pakistan flare-ups, expecting only short-lived volatility barring major escalation. The rupee dipped slightly amid broader Asia weakness, and 10-year bond yields were marginally lower. Supportive sentiment also stems from trade progress, including a U.K. FTA and prospects of a U.S. deal by Q3 2025. While some warn this episode is more intense than 2019 and could prompt a proportionate Pakistani response, the prevailing view anticipates de-escalation and maintains a generally bullish stance on Indian assets.

CNN explains that fresh Indian strikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir have sharply escalated the longstanding India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir, reviving fears of war between the nuclear-armed neighbors. The segment outlines Kashmir’s contested history since partition, recurring cross-border clashes, militant activity, and political flashpoints that make the region highly volatile. With nationalist pressures, military posturing, and limited diplomatic off-ramps, even localized incidents risk rapid escalation, underscoring why the latest violence is particularly alarming.

After a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir that India linked to Pakistan, India conducted its deepest airstrikes in Pakistan in decades, hitting multiple sites tied to militant groups and killing over 20 people. Pakistan claimed it downed several Indian aircraft and reopened its airspace, signaling restraint. Both sides framed the outcome as a success, creating a potential off-ramp to avoid further escalation. Back-channel contacts reportedly began, and India emphasized the strikes were limited and nonescalatory. Analysts say de-escalation hinges on whether domestic audiences feel satisfied and on international diplomatic pressure, with Pakistan’s economic constraints and the risks of tit-for-tat retaliation discouraging a broader conflict.

After a deadly April 22 terrorist attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 26 civilians, India struck targets in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir and inside Pakistan on Wednesday, prompting days of cross-border shelling and Pakistani drone attacks along India’s western border. Both sides reported civilian and security-force casualties—about 20 killed on the Indian side and over 30 in Pakistan—and mass displacement from border villages. Images and video document widespread damage to homes, schools, mosques, and public buildings, funerals for victims and soldiers, evacuations, and relief efforts. A cease-fire was reached on Saturday, bringing a halt to major hostilities, though recovery and return to normalcy remain slow for affected communities.

Pakistan’s defense minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, welcomed U.S. involvement to de-escalate rising tensions with India after Indian strikes on sites in Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir following a deadly attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Asif claimed Pakistan had already responded by downing five Indian planes and two drones and using electronic warfare to disrupt missiles, while signaling readiness to pause if India refrains from further action and accepts an independent inquiry. He praised President Trump’s call for a quick end to the conflict and urged U.S.-backed international investigation mechanisms. Despite mutual nuclear capabilities heightening concern, Asif said he did not currently foresee a nuclear escalation but warned the situation could flare quickly. Indian officials and Western diplomats dispute Pakistan’s shootdown claims, saying only two or three Indian planes went down on India’s side.
