On April 22, 2025, five militants attacked tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26, including 25 Hindus and one Christian. The Resistance Front (TRF), linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, initially claimed responsibility but later retracted. India attributed the attack to Pakistan-based groups, leading to the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, expulsion of Pakistani diplomats, and closure of the Wagah-Attari border. Pakistan denied involvement, conducted missile tests, and claimed intelligence of an imminent Indian strike. The UN Security Council urged both nations to de-escalate. Moody's warned of economic repercussions for both countries. The standoff has intensified military activities and diplomatic tensions, with international actors calling for restraint.
