As military tensions surge between India and Pakistan, global concern over the possibility of nuclear escalation has grown. India maintains a strict "No First Use" (NFU) doctrine, pledging to deploy nuclear weapons only in retaliation to a nuclear strike. Pakistan, however, follows a more flexible policy allowing for "first use" in response to perceived existential threats. Analysts warn that while full-scale nuclear engagement remains unlikely, the current volatile environment raises the risk of miscalculation. The situation has prompted renewed international calls for urgent diplomatic efforts to restore stability in the South Asian region. (PC: Reuters)
