Pakistan warns of imminent Indian military strike after Kashmir attack

Tensions between India and Pakistan are escalating rapidly following a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, which left 26 civilians dead. India has blamed Pakistan-based militants, particularly the Resistance Front linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, for the attack and has taken several retaliatory actions, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, closing borders, expelling diplomats, and halting trade. In response, Pakistan has denied involvement, offered cooperation in a neutral investigation, and claims to have credible intelligence that an Indian military strike is imminent, warning it will respond decisively if attacked. Both sides have increased military readiness, with exchanges of fire along the Line of Control and reports of Indian and Pakistani jets on alert. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed strong action, giving the armed forces operational freedom and promising severe punishment for those responsible. The situation has raised concerns of a broader conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
