India-Pakistan Tensions Still Rising After Military Action | The Wire Wrap

The biggest news this week is the military action by India on nine targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, targeting terrorist infrastructure and bases of the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayyaba. The Indian government has said that this action was specifically targeted to avoid any damage to civilian or military lives or property, and that its response to the Pahalgam terror attack has been measured and shown restraint.

On the second day of tensions, cross-border shelling continues. India has said Pakistan tried to target military bases in India on Wednesday night, and India managed to neutralise the attack.
