Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated following a deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 27 civilians. India attributes the attack to Pakistan-based militants and launched "Operation Sindoor," targeting nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Pakistan reports 31 civilian deaths and vows retaliation. Subsequent exchanges include drone and missile strikes, with both nations reporting civilian and military casualties. India claims to have intercepted Pakistani attacks using its S-400 missile system. Pakistan warns of a "clear and present" nuclear threat. International leaders, including the U.S., urge de-escalation. The situation remains volatile, with both sides exchanging artillery fire and engaging in air skirmishes. (PC: PTI)
