Summary
India’s navy tested advanced long-range missiles as tensions between the country and Pakistan escalate following a devastating terrorist attack in Kashmir that killed 26 civilians last week. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed harsh responses and emphasized his government's commitment to maintaining regional stability, promising to hunt down attackers and revoke their support for terrorism. As both nations navigate complex military doctrines—India favoring conventional strikes while Pakistan reliant on tactical nuclear weapons—the stakes remain high with potential for further confrontation.
