Kashmir disputed between India and Pakistan. A military standoff has emerged between India and Pakistan following an Islamist terrorist attack in Pahalgam, in the Baisaran Valley of Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 27 people, including 25 Hindu tourists, a Christian tourist, and a local Muslim, and injured more than 20 others. The Kashmir Resistance Front (TRF) initially claimed responsibility for the attack. Armed skirmishes, with active use of military aircraft and drones, have been reported between India and Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) since April 24, fueling fears of further escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. A ceasefire was announced on May 10, 2025. After the ceasefire expired, both countries accused each other of violating the ceasefire agreement.
