India Launches Military Operation Against Pakistan, Escalating Tensions

India has launched a military operation against Pakistan, targeting what it described as 'terrorist infrastructure' in both Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in response to a recent deadly attack in Kashmir that killed 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen. Indian officials emphasized that their actions were focused and measured, avoiding Pakistani military installations, and claiming significant restraint in their choice of targets. Pakistan, however, reported civilian casualties and condemned the strikes as an act of war, vowing to respond at a time and place of its choosing. The situation marks a sharp escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, whose relations have deteriorated following the mass shooting of tourists in Kashmir. Both sides offer conflicting narratives regarding the nature and impact of the strikes, fueling international concerns over the potential for further conflict. Explosions were reported in multiple locations within Pakistan-administered Kashmir, heightening tensions in one of the world's most volatile regions.
