Escalated India–Pakistan border clash in Kashmir, Pahalgam area
Fresh exchanges of gunfire and mortar fire along the Line of Control near Pahalgam have killed several soldiers and civilians, prompting both India and Pakistan to reinforce border units and issue sha
Indian and Pakistani forces have exchanged heavy fire across the Line of Control near Pahalgam in Indian‑administered Kashmir, killing multiple soldiers and several civilians on both sides. The incident follows a militant attack on an Indian security convoy earlier in the week, which India attributes to Pakistan‑based groups. Indian artillery and infantry units have engaged Pakistani positions in the Pahalgam sector, while Pakistan reports retaliatory strikes on suspected infiltration routes. Both countries have called emergency military briefings and heightened air and naval readiness, raising fears of a wider escalation between the nuclear‑armed neighbours. India has evacuated several border villages and tightened restrictions in the Kashmir Valley, while Pakistan has accused India of disproportionate force and lodged formal protests at the UN.
