India and Pakistan are facing their most dangerous military escalation in decades after India launched pre-dawn airstrikes on what it claims were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Pakistan has condemned the strikes as an 'act of war' and responded by shooting down five Indian jets, with casualties mounting on both sides. The conflict has already resulted in at least 26 deaths and dozens wounded, prompting international concern and travel warnings. The world is urging restraint as the two nuclear-armed neighbors teeter on the edge of all-out war.
The situation remains highly volatile, with both countries trading accusations and preparing for further military action.
