In a closed-door session, the UN Security Council questioned Pakistan regarding the April 22 Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, which resulted in 26 deaths, primarily Hindu tourists. India attributed the attack to Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based group. Pakistan denied involvement, citing internal dissent. The incident escalated tensions, with India suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, expelling diplomats, and closing borders. Pakistan responded by suspending the Simla Agreement and conducting missile tests. Both nations have increased military readiness, with skirmishes along the Line of Control. The UN Secretary-General urged restraint, while Iran and Russia offered mediation. The situation remains volatile, with international concerns over potential escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors. (PC: AP & Wikipedia)
