Pakistan-India tensions spike after Pahalgam attack; Modi vows retribution, Pakistan warns of war.

Tensions between Pakistan and India have hit a dangerous new high after a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, killed 26 tourists. Indian PM Modi blamed Pakistan and promised strong retaliation. Pakistan denied any involvement, calling it a “false flag” and warned that India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty could be seen as an act of war.

Cross-border firing was reported today at the Line of Control (LoC), and India closed multiple civilian border crossings. India also canceled Pakistani visas, expelled diplomats, and suspended trade. Pakistan responded by closing its airspace and suspending bilateral agreements.

Global leaders, including from Israel and France, expressed support for India, while the UN urged both countries to de-escalate. However, no major diplomatic breakthrough has occurred. Social media platforms are filled with nationalist rhetoric, with both sides blaming each other.

The world watches closely as tensions rise between two nuclear-armed neighbors with a long history of conflict over Kashmir.
