As hostilities between India and Pakistan increase, both nations are accusing each other of aerial attacks, igniting fears of an impending war. This latest round of conflict, seen as the first drone war between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, is rooted in their long-standing dispute over Kashmir. Experts warn that the current situation is perilous, with both sides testing red lines of nuclear rivalry and posturing militarily. The potential for escalation into an all-out war poses significant risks not only to the two countries but also to the broader region. As the situation evolves, defense experts emphasize the critical importance of diplomatic efforts and de-escalation strategies to avoid catastrophe.
