Tensions arising as India bombed Pakistan and Pakistan has vowed to retaliate (videos)

Pakistan on Wednesday, April 30, accused India of planning an imminent military strike, citing “credible intelligence,” and warned that any aggression would be met with a decisive response, further inflaming tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a deadly attack on civilians in Kashmir. The warning comes amid fears of renewed conflict after Indian authorities blamed Pakistan for the shooting of tourists in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, the deadliest such incident in the region in 25 years.
The government in Islamabad strongly denied any role in the assault. Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar alleged that India was using the incident as a pretext for military action and stated that the strike could occur within 24 to 36 hours. While issuing the threat of retaliation, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar maintained that his country would not initiate hostilities.
India has yet to confirm the allegations but has signaled a hardened stance. A senior Indian government source told AFP that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had granted the military “complete operational freedom” to respond to the attack. Modi previously vowed to hold those responsible — and their backers — accountable, declaring India would “pursue them to the ends of the Earth.”
Kashmir, a majority-Muslim territory claimed in full by both India and Pakistan, remains the epicentre of their long-standing hostility. The region is currently witnessing rising military activity and tension, especially along the Line of Control, where the two sides have exchanged fire for six consecutive nights. A Pakistani security source also reported the downing of two Indian drones that allegedly violated Pakistani airspace near the LoC.
Residents on both sides of the de facto border are preparing for possible conflict. In Chakothi, a village in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, locals have begun readying underground bunkers, fearing airstrikes. “We are cleaning the bunker to ensure that if the enemy attacks at any time, we are not caught off guard,” said Muhammad Javed, a resident of the village.
The international community has expressed mounting concern. The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres held separate calls with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, offering his good offices to mediate de-escalation. The US State Department also announced that top diplomat Marco Rubio would soon reach out to both countries to urge restraint.
Meanwhile, Indian authorities continue their investigation into the Pahalgam attack. Police have issued wanted posters for three suspects, two Pakistanis and an Indian, accused of ties to Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based group designated as a terrorist organisation by the UN. A bounty of two million rupees has been announced for information leading to the arrest of each man, with security forces conducting widespread detentions.
The rising tension echoes the events of 2019, when a suicide bombing in Pulwama killed 40 Indian paramilitary personnel. India responded with air strikes on Pakistani territory, drawing the two nations to the brink of war. As rhetoric and military activity intensify once more, fears of another escalation loom large.
