Overview

  • Pakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar claims India plans a military strike within the next 24–36 hours, calling it a response to 'baseless' allegations over the Pahalgam attack.
  • Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has authorized the armed forces to determine the timing and targets of any retaliation, emphasizing a commitment to justice for the attack's victims.
  • The April 22 attack in Pahalgam, which killed 26 tourists, has led to heightened cross-border tensions, including diplomatic downgrades and reciprocal punitive measures by both nations.
  • The United Nations and the United States have urged restraint and dialogue, with Secretary-General António Guterres and Secretary of State Marco Rubio engaging both sides to de-escalate the situation.
  • Cross-border firing continues along the Line of Control, and both nations dispute evidence linking Pakistan to the attack, with Islamabad proposing a neutral investigation.
