The precarious relationship between India and Pakistan has further deteriorated following a deadly attack in India's Kashmir region. The incident, which involved suspected Pakistani militants, resulted in 26 deaths, sparking a series of hostile exchanges.

In the wake of the attack, hostilities spiraled as both countries' troops exchanged gunfire along the de facto border in Kashmir. The Indian Army accused Pakistani troops of initiating unprovoked fire, igniting tensions in the volatile region. Despite the exchanges, there have been no reported casualties on the Indian side, while officials from Pakistan have yet to provide a statement.
