Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated sharply this week as the death toll from cross-border missile strikes surged to 26 civilians, according to Pakistan’s military. The clashes have sparked global concerns over regional stability in South Asia.
“Until now, 26 innocent civilians have been martyred in attacks,” said military spokesperson Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry during a press briefing Wednesday. The strikes and subsequent artillery exchanges mark one of the deadliest flare-ups along the disputed border in recent years.
Analysts warn the violence could further strain ties between the nuclear-armed neighbors. While neither side has officially claimed responsibility for initiating the strikes, social media has erupted with calls for de-escalation.
