Escalating India-Pakistan Tensions in 2025

In April 2025, a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, claimed the lives of 26 tourists, intensifying the longstanding conflict between India and Pakistan. India attributed the attack to Pakistan-based militants, leading to a series of retaliatory measures, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and diplomatic ties. Pakistan responded with military posturing, including ballistic missile tests, raising fears of a potential full-scale conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations.
