India-Pakistan Tensions Rise After Pahalgam Attack

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated sharply following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which India blames on Pakistan-backed militants. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, conducting precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, reportedly killing over 100 militants. Pakistan retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Indian targets, which were largely neutralized by India's air defenses, resulting in continued exchanges of fire along the Line of Control. Indian officials, including Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, accused Pakistan of being the 'epicentre of global terrorism,' referencing its harboring of figures like Osama bin Laden. Amid fears of a wider conflict, a Pakistani MP's emotional plea in Parliament has gone viral, symbolizing widespread anxiety in Pakistan. The United States has issued an alert for its citizens in Lahore, urging them to leave or seek shelter due to the volatile situation.
