Pahalgam Attack: Tensions Flare Again Along LoC
Pakistan Fires Across LoC, India Responds
There’s been another tense incident along the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border between India and Pakistan. Pakistani forces reportedly fired across the LoC in the Pahalgam area of Indian-administered Kashmir. The Indian army responded, and authorities say the situation is currently under control.
This exchange of fire comes amid already high tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The LoC has been a flashpoint for conflict for decades, with frequent skirmishes and cross-border shelling.
The region has a long and complex history, with both India and Pakistan claiming it in its entirety. The division of Kashmir is a major source of contention between the two countries.
Kashmir: A Region of Contention
Kashmir is a disputed territory in South Asia, divided between India, Pakistan, and China. Both India and Pakistan claim the entire region, leading to several wars and ongoing tensions. The situation is further complicated by the presence of separatist movements within the region.
