Intense gunfire and artillery shelling occurred overnight between Indian and Pakistani forces along the Kashmir frontier, resulting in at least five civilian deaths. The conflict escalated following a deadly attack on Indian tourists last month. Both sides exchanged fire, with India launching airstrikes and accusing Pakistan of supporting militants. The situation has led to widespread domestic disruptions in India, including school closures and evacuations at public events. US Vice President JD Vance commented on the situation, indicating a non-interventionist stance.
