Pakistan’s military has warned of a strong response to any attacks, marking the anniversary of a conflict with India. This warning comes amidst heightened tensions following a deadly clash last year, which brought the nuclear-armed rivals to the brink of war before a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. The military stated that any “hostile design” would be met with “greater strength, precision and resolve” than observed in the May 2025 conflict.
Last year’s conflict stemmed from an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people, primarily Hindu tourists. India accused Pakistan-backed militants of the attack, an allegation Pakistan denied, calling for an independent investigation. India then launched strikes inside Pakistan, leading to retaliatory attacks from Pakistan, including drone incursions, missile strikes, and artillery fire. Dozens of casualties were reported on both sides before a ceasefire was brokered on May 10. Pakistan claimed to have shot down several Indian military aircraft during the conflict.
