Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated sharply following a deadly militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, with New Delhi vowing harsh retaliation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi promises to pursue perpetrators “to the ends of the earth” as India closes border crossings, suspends a key water treaty, and revokes Pakistani visas. Islamabad denies involvement in the attack while matching India’s punitive measures through suspended trade, closed airspace, and expelled military advisers. Street protests in both nations amplify calls for military action, with demonstrators in India demanding surgical strikes against Pakistan. The nuclear-armed rivals, having previously fought multiple wars over Kashmir, now risk further confrontation as funeral rites for attack victims fuel public anger. With Pakistan framing water treaty violations as potential acts of war, and both governments adopting maximalist rhetoric, the crisis shows no signs of de-escalation.
