US EditionBlasts rock Indian Kashmir, Amritsar as conflict with Pakistan escalates
- On the evening of May 9, blasts occurred across Indian Kashmir and Amritsar in Punjab amid renewed conflict between India and Pakistan.
- Tensions intensified after India conducted strikes on Pakistani sites in response to a fatal assault targeting Hindu travelers last month, marking the most severe clashes since the 1999 conflict.

- Pakistan denied involvement, calling Indian claims baseless, while international calls for de-escalation increased and residents near the border prepared for displacement amid ongoing tensions.
