India, Pakistan Clash After Ceasefire Collapse

A recent ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan quickly broke down, with Pakistan allegedly violating the truce through cross-border firing, drone incursions, and attacks on Indian territory. India responded with strong military action, reportedly destroying key Pakistani airbases and drone launching sites, significantly weakening Pakistan's air defense systems. Pakistani drone and missile attacks on Indian cities continued, causing civilian casualties and damage, but Indian forces effectively neutralized many threats using the indigenous 'Drone-Detect, Deter, and Destroy (D4)' system. Both nations have exchanged accusations of targeting religious and civilian sites, with Pakistan reporting significant casualties in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and accusing India of violating international law. Diplomatic calls for de-escalation have come from both Indian and Chinese officials, while Indian analysts emphasize the need to dismantle terrorism for lasting peace. The conflict highlights the fragility of the border peace and the increasing role of drone warfare in the region.
