Tensions escalate as Pakistan calls India's operation 'an act of war'

Tensions escalated further in Kashmir as India accused Pakistan of instigating airstrikes that killed 31 people, including 14 at a mosque in Ahmedpur East following cross-border operations. Both countries denied direct involvement, with Pakistan pointing to New Delhi using "proxy forces" and India stating the strikes were self-defense. The UN Secretary-General called for restraint, warning of potential escalation as local victims expressed outrage over what they described as reprisals.
