Tensions Erupt: India-Pakistan Conflict Intensifies with Strikes

In a fierce escalation, India launched strikes on Pakistani targets following the killing of Indian tourists in Kashmir. The assault, which left at least 26 civilians dead, targeted figures linked to the Jaish-e-Mohammed militant group. Pakistan threatened retaliation amid rising tensions.

In a dramatic escalation of tensions, video footage captured a bright flash over a residential seminary in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, as Indian forces launched a strike. The attack targeted individuals associated with the Jaish-e-Mohammed, following the recent killing of Indian tourists in Kashmir.

The strike resulted in the deaths of 13 people, including relatives of Masood Azhar, as thousands gathered to mourn in a sports stadium. India conducted further strikes on a complex in Muridke, a location accused of being tied to Lashkar-e-Taiba. These actions mark the most significant military engagement in decades between the two nations.

Both India and Pakistan exchanged accusations over supporting terrorism, with India citing the need to dismantle terror infrastructure. As threats of retaliation loom large, experts warn of further escalation, raising concerns over stability in the South Asian region.
