Multiple sources report a dramatic escalation of military tensions between India and Pakistan, marked by missile strikes, drone attacks, and aerial combat following a recent deadly incident in Indian-administered Kashmir. Both nations have accused the other of aggression and disinformation, leading to heightened security measures, disruptions to civilian life and travel, and concerns from the international community about the potential for a wider conflict between the two nuclear powers. The sources also highlight India's opposition to an IMF loan for Pakistan, citing concerns about terrorism sponsorship, though the loan was ultimately approved. Despite calls for restraint, the situation remains volatile with little indication of de-escalation from either side.
