India and Pakistan engaged in a significant military confrontation on Saturday, marked by missile and drone attacks across their border. This represents the most serious conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations in decades. The hostilities escalated after a recent massacre in India-controlled Kashmir that India blames on Pakistan. Pakistan's foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, stated that his country would consider de-escalation if India ceased further attacks, but warned of retaliation if attacks continued. Dar also conveyed this message to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. India claimed to have targeted Pakistani air bases following Pakistani missile strikes on Indian military and civilian infrastructure in Punjab. Both countries reported intercepting some missiles and launching retaliatory strikes. The Indian military held a press briefing, stating that Pakistan targeted health facilities and schools at Indian air bases in Kashmir and that India's response was a series of precision strikes. However, India also noted Pakistani troop mobilization, suggesting further escalation. The U.S. offered support to facilitate communication between the two countries to de-escalate the situation. The conflict has resulted in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure on both sides. Residents in both countries reported hearing explosions, and there were celebrations in Pakistan following the missile launches. Analysts described the situation as a dangerous race for military one-upmanship, with a challenging path to de-escalation.
