India, Pakistan Trade Strikes After Pahalgam Attack

India has rejected the framing of the Pahalgam terror attack as a bilateral conflict, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasizing it was terrorism aimed at disrupting tourism. Following the April 22 attack, India launched 'Operation Sindoor' targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, after which Pakistan retaliated with strikes on Indian military bases, leading to a ceasefire. India accused Pakistan at the UN of hypocrisy and targeting civilians, while Pakistan denied involvement in the attack and called for independent investigations. The dispute has also affected the Indus Waters Treaty, which India has suspended until Pakistan halts cross-border terrorism. India is considering urging the World Bank and FATF to impose economic measures on Pakistan for its alleged support of terrorism. Tensions remain high as both sides exchange accusations and maintain strong security postures.
