Instagram has restricted access to the profiles of several top Pakistani celebrities—including Mahira Khan and Hania Aamir—for users in India, citing legal compliance. The move follows the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, prompting New Delhi to escalate diplomatic and digital actions against Pakistan, including banning 16 YouTube channels and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently in jail, has termed the recent Pahalgam terror attack as “deeply disturbing and tragic,” urging India to act responsibly and avoid escalating tensions in a nuclear-sensitive region. Drawing parallels to the 2019 Pulwama incident, Khan alleged a pattern of baseless accusations against Pakistan and criticized both the Indian government’s approach in Kashmir and Pakistan’s current leadership for failing to take a firm stand.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif claimed that an Indian military incursion is imminent, prompting Islamabad to reinforce its forces. While India blames Pakistani nationals for the attack, Pakistan has denied involvement and offered to participate in a neutral investigation.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have reached a boiling point as Pakistan’s Minister Hanif Abbasi issued a direct nuclear threat following India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. Abbasi warned that Pakistan’s 130 nuclear warheads and missile systems are "not for display" and are aimed squarely at India. The warning comes amid a series of retaliatory actions between the two nations, sparked by a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam.

A massive explosion rocked Iran’s Shahid Rajaei port near Bandar Abbas on April 26, injuring over 500 people and causing significant structural damage. The blast, which originated from cargo containers, triggered a major fire and building collapse, with authorities still investigating the cause.
