- India blamed Pakistan-based militants for the April attack, while Islamabad denied involvement, called the strikes an act of war, and vowed retaliation amid rising tensions between the neighbors.
- Pakistan reported that it had downed five Indian fighter jets and a drone, cited at least eight civilian fatalities and 35 wounded from the attacks, and retaliated with artillery fire along the Line of Control.
- India described its actions as "focused, measured and non-escalatory," while global actors including the UN and China urged restraint to prevent further escalation.
- This clash has significantly heightened concerns about escalation between two nuclear-armed countries that have experienced decades of conflict over Kashmir, leading to international appeals to prevent the situation from spiraling into a wider confrontation.
