Tag: Pahalgam Terror Attack

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 8 PM today in his first public statement since the recent India-Pakistan military escalation. His speech follows Operation Sindoor, a major Indian offensive targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK, launched in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. The address comes amid a fragile ceasefire after intense cross-border hostilities and is expected to clarify India’s stance and future course of action.

Tensions reignited along the India-Pakistan border as Pakistan violated the ceasefire agreement within hours of reaffirmation, shelling multiple sectors in Jammu including Akhnoor, Rajouri, and RS Pura. Simultaneous violations were also reported along the LoC in Palanwalla, with explosions in Baramulla and UAV activity prompting heightened alert. The BSF remains on high alert amid growing fears of escalation.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, India and Pakistan have agreed to a "full and immediate" ceasefire after overnight talks mediated by the United States. Announced by Donald Trump and confirmed by both nations, the ceasefire halts all military action across land, air, and sea, marking a dramatic shift following days of escalating tensions.

The IMF is under fire for approving a $1 billion loan to Pakistan just days after a terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam. India abstained from the vote in protest, warning that such funds risk enabling military or extremist activity. Critics across the region say the move undermines peace efforts and emboldens Pakistan’s military establishment.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has ruled out American military involvement in the escalating India-Pakistan conflict, calling it "none of America's business." While urging diplomatic de-escalation, Vance emphasized the limits of U.S. influence. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered to mediate, expressing hope that the hostilities would end quickly.
