India-Pakistan clash: ‘far from neutral’ Russia and China step in with arms
- On May 7, 2025, India conducted missile strikes within Pakistan, triggering intense artillery battles along the disputed border region in Kashmir.
- The strikes followed a deadly April 22 attack on Indian-administered Kashmir tourists, which New Delhi blamed on Pakistan-backed militants, though Islamabad denies involvement and calls for an independent investigation.
- India reported destroying nine terrorist camps and described its response as focused and measured, while Pakistan claimed to have downed five Indian jets, including three French Rafale fighters, and launched retaliatory attacks.
- At least 38 people died in the fighting, including 26 civilians in Pakistan and 12 in India, as international leaders like Russia and the UN called for restraint to prevent further escalation.
- This escalation marks the most severe military clash between the two nuclear-armed rivals in twenty years and prompts fears of a wider regional crisis that demands immediate diplomatic intervention.
