The Conflict Between India and Pakistan

The conflict between the two nuclear powers India and Pakistan escalated after terrorists shot 26 tourists in Indian Kashmir on April 22, 2025. Of them, 25  were Indian citizens and one was Nepali.

Responsibility for the terrorist attack was claimed by the group "The Resistance Front", which advocates the separation of Kashmir territories from India. For its part, Pakistan expressed condolences over the deaths of innocent people, but India accused Islamabad of supporting terrorists.

The countries exchanged measures against each other: India closed the main border crossing and limited the number of visas, while Pakistan suspended trade and closed its airspace.

The Indian authorities suspended the "Indus Waters Treaty" and stopped supplying water to Pakistani farmers. The head of Pakistan's national farmers' union, Khalid Hussain Baath, stated that "this is a real war".

On April 25, India and Pakistan began massing troops at the border. On the same day, the first exchanges of fire between the troops began along the border in the Kashmir area. On the evening of April 29, combat clashes began between New Delhi and Islamabad on the international border in Jammu.

On April 30, Pakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar stated that they had information that India wanted to carry out a military strike within the next 24–36 hours. On the same day, the US said it was preparing talks between the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan.

Incidentally, before this, there was a conflict between India and Pakistan in 2019, but it was settled by signing a ceasefire agreement. The dispute between the countries over the Kashmir region has been going on since 1947, that is, for almost 80 years.
