Summary
Vice President Mike Pence criticized the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan as "none of our business," emphasizing concerns over nuclear conflict that he believes are out of U.S. control. Since late April following a deadly attack in Kashmir, tensions have escalated, with both sides reacting sharply. Analysts warn that further escalation is possible due to nuclear involvement and regional instability, while local residents face increased violence near military bases, and social media has blocked independent journalism accounts linked to Kashmiri leaders advocating for de-escalation efforts.
