These sources collectively provide an overview of the rapidly escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, highlighting recent missile and drone attacks by Pakistan targeting Indian military sites, which India successfully intercepted. India's actions are described as retaliation for an earlier attack and as targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, a claim Pakistan refutes, asserting India is fabricating incidents. Both nations have intensified military actions, including simultaneous naval drills and the deployment of advanced fighter jets, leading to heightened security measures across India, including the closure of numerous airports and the disruption of a cricket match. International actors, including the United States, have urged both nations to de-escalate and pursue diplomatic solutions, though the US has indicated it will not directly intervene. The situation remains highly volatile with both sides engaging in an information war alongside military activities, further complicated by a recent Indian Supreme Court ruling on the deportation of Rohingya migrants based on national security concerns.
