There are credible reports indicating that Indian and Pakistani forces have clashed in the Leepa Valley region of Kashmir. This development follows a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries after a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 tourists.
In response to the attack, India has accused Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism and has taken several measures, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and downgrading diplomatic ties. Pakistan has denied involvement in the attack, labeling it a "false flag operation," and has retaliated by suspending the 1972 Simla Agreement, closing its airspace to Indian aircraft, and expelling Indian diplomats.
The situation remains highly volatile, with both nations being nuclear-armed and having a history of conflicts over the Kashmir region. International observers are closely monitoring the developments, urging both sides to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue to prevent further escalation.
