Pakistan launched multiple drone and artillery attacks along India’s western border overnight, intensifying the worst fighting between the two nuclear-armed nations since 1999.

The clashes erupted after India struck alleged terrorist camps in Pakistan in retaliation for a deadly attack on Hindu tourists in Kashmir.

Nearly 50 people have died in escalating cross-border shelling, drone strikes, and ceasefire violations.

India accused Pakistan of targeting cities and infiltration attempts, while Pakistan denied offensive actions, Reuters has reported.

Panic and evacuations spread in Indian border cities like Amritsar, prompting global calls, including from the U.S., for urgent de-escalation.
