India-Pakistan Tensions Escalate: Cross-Border Firing Continues as UN Security Council Holds Emergency Talks
Tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified following the Pahalgam terror attack, with Pakistan continuing unprovoked firing across the Line of Control (LoC) for the 12th consecutive night. The Indian Army has responded proportionately, ensuring security along the border regions.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has convened closed-door consultations to discuss the escalating situation, following Pakistan’s request for international intervention. The meeting comes amid heightened concerns over regional stability, with global leaders urging restraint and diplomatic resolution.
India has vowed to take decisive action against those responsible for the Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives, including civilians and tourists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has held multiple high-level meetings with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and senior defense officials to assess the security situation and formulate a strategic response.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has accused India of preparing for military action, prompting increased troop deployments on both sides of the border. The Indian government has also ordered nationwide civil defense drills, including mock exercises to prepare civilians for potential security threats.
As diplomatic efforts continue, the situation remains volatile, with both nations closely monitoring developments. The UNSC discussions will play a crucial role in shaping the next steps in this unfolding crisis.
