Tensions escalate between India and Pakistan after a series of missile strikes and aerial engagements. India launched a preemptive strike targeting militant infrastructure in Pakistani-controlled territory, killing at least 26 people.
Pakistan retaliated, shooting down several Indian fighter jets. The strikes come after a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir last month, which India blames on Pakistan-backed militants. Pakistan denies the accusation.
The conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides, with civilians caught in the crossfire. The international community, including the US, is urging restraint and peaceful resolution. China has expressed regret over India’s actions and called for both sides to avoid escalating the situation.
The conflict has disrupted flights between Taiwan and Europe, and several Indian states are holding security drills amid fears of a wider conflict. Both countries have summoned each other’s diplomats to lodge protests. The situation remains volatile, with both nations possessing nuclear capabilities.
