India has intensified its military actions against Pakistan, launching airstrikes following the killing of 26 individuals in Kashmir, which India attributed to Pakistani-linked Islamist militants. The conflict, centered around the disputed region of Kashmir claimed by both nations, has escalated through numerous wars and skirmishes since the 1947 partition, including three major wars and ongoing insurgencies supported by Pakistan. With tens of thousands dead over decades, the tensions remain a significant source of instability between the nuclear-armed rivals.
