Pakistan accused India of planning an imminent military strike, citing "credible intelligence," and warned of a decisive response, amid heightened tensions following a deadly attack in Kashmir, which Pakistan denied any role in, sparking fears of renewed conflict.
India hasn't confirmed the allegations but signaled a hardened stance, granting its military "complete operational freedom" to respond to the attack, amid rising tensions in Kashmir, a disputed territory claimed by both India and Pakistan.
Residents near the de facto border are preparing for potential conflict. In Chakothi, Pakistan-administered Kashmir, locals are readying underground bunkers, fearing airstrikes. Muhammad Javed, a resident, said, "We are cleaning the bunker to ensure we're not caught off guard." The international community is concerned.
The UN Secretary-General and US State Department are offering mediation and urging restraint. Indian authorities are investigating the Pahalgam attack, issuing wanted posters for three suspects and announcing a bounty for information leading to their arrest.
