Amid Tensions over Kashmir, Pakistani Official Says India Is Preparing a Military Strike

HeadlineApr 30, 2025

The warning came one week after gunmen massacred 26 tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir in a rampage that India blamed on Pakistan. Tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors are now at their highest point since 2019, when India carried out airstrikes inside Pakistan for the first time since 1971.
