The US has urged India and Pakistan to defuse rising tensions after a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam killed 26 civilians. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held talks with both nations, calling for peace and cooperation. India accused Pakistan of backing the terrorists behind the 22 April Pahalgam attack, a claim Islamabad strongly denies. In retaliation, India closed its airspace to Pakistani aircraft and suspended key treaties. Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the military full freedom to respond, while Pakistan warned of possible Indian strikes. As diplomatic ties worsen, regional stability faces a serious threat between the nuclear-armed neighbors. (PC: PTI)
