The Kashmir conflict has seen a sharp escalation, with at least 70 civilians killed during cross-border fighting between India and Pakistan. The violence began after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 Hindu tourists. In retaliation, India launched airstrikes on May 7 targeting alleged terrorist sites in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, while Pakistan responded with artillery fire. Despite a ceasefire brokered on May 10, tensions remain high, with both nations accusing each other of violating the agreement. The human toll continues to rise as conflict persists.
