Pakistan’s military warns it will respond strongly to any attack as it marks the anniversary of last year’s conflict with India. The four-day clash in May 2025 brought the nuclear-armed rivals to the brink of war before a U.S.-brokered ceasefire halted the fighting. Pakistan and India exchanged strikes following an attack in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir that killed 26 people. India blamed Pakistan-backed militants, an allegation Islamabad denied. The conflict involved drone incursions, missile strikes, and artillery fire. U.S. mediation led to a ceasefire. Tensions between the two countries remain high over Kashmir.
