Escalation at the Border: India and Pakistan Exchange Heavy Artillery Fire Overnight

Indian and Pakistani forces engaged in intense artillery exchanges overnight along the volatile Kashmir frontier, resulting in civilian casualties and heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Reports indicate that at least five civilians lost their lives in the crossfire, with several others injured.

The shelling, which continued into the early hours of the morning, followed a series of escalating incidents, including airstrikes and drone attacks earlier in the week. India has accused Pakistan of backing a recent attack on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir, a claim Islamabad denies.

International leaders have urged both sides to de-escalate, but tensions remain high. The situation continues to develop, with concerns growing over the potential for further military action.
