Tensions Surge as India, Pakistan Exchange Gunfire Following Deadly Kashmir Attack

Indian media reported Friday that the Indian Army observed light weapons fire from the Pakistani side targeting border posts along the Line of Control (LoC). A military source confirmed that “the fire began last night and was effectively returned by Indian forces,” with no reported casualties.

This incident follows a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, which left 26 civilians dead, mostly tourists. India has blamed Pakistan for the assault, fueling a sharp escalation in bilateral tensions.

In an unexpected development, both India and Pakistan issued advisories urging their nationals to leave the other country immediately, intensifying the diplomatic rift.

In a fiery address, the Indian Prime Minister vowed to “hunt down the perpetrators and their accomplices to the ends of the earth,” signaling a tough response.
