Escalating Tensions: India-Pakistan Drone and Missile Clashes

A rise in hostilities between India and Pakistan ensued as Pakistani drones and missiles targeted Indian military stations in Jammu and Kashmir, marking the deadliest confrontation in recent years. Both countries accuse each other of aggressive actions as diplomatic calls for de-escalation intensify amidst global concerns.

Escalating tensions erupted between nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan, following alleged Pakistani drone and missile attacks targeting military infrastructures in Jammu and Kashmir. The confrontations marked the most severe clash in over two decades, injuring scores amid claims and counterclaims from both nations.

The Indian government reported that eight missiles, believed to be of Pakistani origin, were intercepted over key towns in the Jammu region, neutralizing potential threats without casualties. Pakistani officials, however, denied all allegations, calling them politically motivated accusations.

Amid rising tension, global entities including the United States called for calm in the region. Meanwhile, both nations reported losses in stocks and currencies as distress led to panic buying in border states, raising further economic concerns.
