Tensions escalate as Pakistan calls India's operation 'an act of war'
Briefly

India executed a series of widespread military strikes across Pakistan, marking a significant escalation in tensions. This operation was in direct retaliation to a terrorist attack in Kashmir that claimed 26 lives. India attributes the attack to a group linked to the Pakistani military, which Pakistan denies. The strikes focused on 'terrorist infrastructure,' and India's military emphasized efforts to avoid civilian casualties. Pakistan condemned the strikes as an 'act of war,' with notable casualties reported, including members of a terrorist leader's family. The situation is complex due to Kashmir's disputed status and previous water treaty tensions.
India's military strikes on Pakistan target "terrorist infrastructure", claiming to respond to a deadly attack in Kashmir, while Pakistan calls it an "act of war".
Strikes were conducted carefully to avoid civilian casualties, with Indian officials insisting their operations were measured and focused on militant targets.
