India’s military raised alarms on Saturday, claiming Pakistan is deploying additional troops along their shared border amid skyrocketing tensions. The nuclear-armed neighbors appear locked in a dangerous tit-for-tat, with Pakistan launching a targeted military operation against India earlier the same day.
The Indian army spokesperson stated that Pakistani troop movements into forward areas “indicate offensive intent” and vowed readiness to respond if provoked. 🔥 “We remain committed to non-escalation, but it must be reciprocal,” she emphasized during a media briefing.
Pakistan’s military action reportedly targeted Indian bases, including a missile storage site, shortly after accusing India of firing missiles at three Pakistani airbases near Islamabad. Most were intercepted, according to Pakistan authorities. 🚀 The sudden spike in hostilities has global observers on edge.
With both nations armed with nuclear capabilities, the situation highlights fragile geopolitical dynamics in South Asia. Diplomats urge restraint, but neither side has signaled de-escalation so far. 🌐💥
