In light of escalating tensions over a recent attack in Kashmir, Pakistan has sounded the alarm, asserting that it has "credible intelligence" about India's intentions to launch a military operation within 24 to 36 hours. The situation escalated following an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that resulted in 26 tourists' deaths, which has heightened the historical regional tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations.

Pakistan Warns of Imminent Indian Military Action Amid Kashmir Tensions
Pakistan's information minister claims credible intelligence suggests India is planning a military strike within a day.
Pakistan's information minister, Attaullah Tarar, stated that India is using this tragic incident as a "false pretext" for a military strike, threatening that any aggression would meet with a decisive response. The Pakistani government categorically rejected accusations of harboring militants behind the attack, which has been dubbed the deadliest violence against civilians in the area in two decades.
In recent days, exchange of gunfire has been reported across the Line of Control separating Indian and Pakistani forces. Speculation regarding India's potential military response echoes its actions following earlier attacks linked to militant activities, notably those in 2016 and 2019.
Within Indian-administered Kashmir, authorities have ramped up efforts to maintain order, detaining over 1,500 individuals for questioning and demolishing the homes of alleged terrorists.
The situation remains fluid, with no designated terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack—initial claims by a group calling itself the Resistance Front have been contradicted by the organization itself. Indian officials have identified at least two of the suspected attackers as Pakistani nationals. Survivors recalled that the assailants deliberately targeted Hindu men, igniting anger and vows for retaliation from Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Modi, who pledged an intense manhunt for the perpetrators. As tensions soar, the potential for further conflict looms ominously over the subcontinent.
