Snap Insight: India and Pakistan are on the brink, but war is not inevitable

  • On May 7, 2025, India launched missile strikes against nine locations in north-western Pakistan following a terrorist incident in Pahalgam that resulted in the deaths of 26 people.
  • The strikes followed the Pahalgam attack and heightened tensions, with India blaming Pakistani militant groups and Pakistan conducting missile tests from May 3-5.
  • Both countries closed borders, airspace, and suspended trade while military preparedness increased and cross-border skirmishes occurred along the Kashmir line of control.
  • A 2024 Basic report urged establishing a direct leader-to-leader hotline to enable real-time, empathetic communication and reduce risks of miscalculation between these nuclear adversaries.
  • While the crisis puts India and Pakistan close to war, experts stress mutual restraint and communication to avoid escalation amid nuclear risks and domestic political pressures on both sides.
