Tensions between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan have escalated sharply, with Pakistan claiming to have killed up to 50 Indian soldiers in response to missile strikes and drone attacks in Kashmir.

Both nations accuse each other of targeting civilians and using drones, missiles, and heavy artillery.

Pakistan also claims to have downed multiple Indian fighter jets and drones, while India insists its attacks targeted terrorist camps after a deadly mass shooting, the U.S. Sun has reported.

The conflict has killed dozens on both sides, forced airport closures in Pakistan, and drawn international concern, with leaders urging urgent de-escalation to avoid potential nuclear war.
