US EditionMany in Kashmir fear the deadly India-Pakistan escalation heralds another war
- On May 8, 2025, troops from India and Pakistan engaged in shooting along the Kashmir border following several days marked by intensified conflict, including missile strikes and artillery bombardments.
- The escalation occurred following India's missile attacks on Pakistan, which took place about two weeks after New Delhi accused Islamabad of supporting an assault on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22—claims that Pakistan has denied.
- The violence caused at least 44 deaths, including children, with 31 civilians killed by Indian fire in Pakistan and 13 civilians plus a soldier killed by Pakistani fire in India.
- Indian forces carried out targeted strikes that eliminated nine terrorist camps, describing the actions as deliberate and restrained, while Pakistani leader Shehbaz Sharif vowed to seek justice for the fallen, declaring they would repay every drop of the martyrs' blood.
- This escalated conflict disrupted a tentative calm since 2021, fueling fears among Kashmiris like a 78-year-old of another war and continuing the region’s history as a repeated flashpoint between these nuclear-armed rivals.
