• Pakistan retaliated with missile strikes on Indian airbases and claimed to have targeted key military installations, though India has refuted these claims as false propaganda.
• Indian air defense systems intercepted multiple Pakistani drones and missiles, with ongoing vigilance reported across the western border and LoC.
• Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict, with shelling in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district killing a senior official and damaging infrastructure.
• The US, G7 nations, and Kashmiri leaders have urged restraint and dialogue, while Pakistan signaled conditional readiness for de-escalation if India halts further strikes.
