India Pakistan Kashmir Conflict Update

Prompted by a recent deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, India has launched strikes on locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, asserting they targeted "terrorist infrastructure" responsible for planning attacks. Pakistan disputes this, calling the strikes "unprovoked" and claiming civilian areas were hit. Both nations report casualties from the strikes and subsequent shelling, though figures differ. Tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors remain high, stemming from their long-standing dispute over the Kashmir region, which has been a flashpoint for previous conflicts and militant activity. The international community is urging restraint and de-escalation.
