Tensions between India and Pakistan reached dangerous new heights this week after Indian military strikes targeted sites in Pakistan-administered Kashmir early Wednesday, leaving civilian homes damaged and casualties rising. 🚨
India described the operation—hitting nine locations it called 'terrorist infrastructure'—as retaliation for a deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam two weeks ago. But footage captured by a CGTN stringer in Khoi Ratta, Azad Kashmir, shows shattered windows, collapsed roofs, and debris littering residential areas. 🏚️
Pakistan’s military reported 26 fatalities from the strikes and cross-border shelling, emphasizing the impact on civilians. Meanwhile, villagers in affected areas are left rebuilding amid escalating rhetoric. 💔
The region, already a decades-long flashpoint, now faces renewed instability as both nations trade accusations. With global observers urging de-escalation, the human cost of the conflict hits harder than ever. 🌍 #KashmirCrisis
