India carried out drone and missile strikes on Pakistani territory, targeting militant infrastructure in retaliation for a deadly attack on Hindu tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir. The Indian military used Israeli-made Harop drones, reportedly damaging air defense systems near Lahore and injuring four Pakistani soldiers. Pakistan responded by claiming it shot down 25 drones and reported civilian casualties. Both countries exchanged artillery fire across the Line of Control, resulting in civilian deaths. Diplomatic ties have further deteriorated, with evacuations ordered near border regions and heightened concerns of conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations.
