Islamabad: Pakistan on May 10 launched what it said was retaliatory attacks against India after three of its air bases were struck by missiles. The tit-for-tat attacks between Islamabad and New Delhi have been carried out since Wednesday, and fears are growing that the conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours could spiral out of control.

According to France24.com, the recent escalation in military actions has heightened tensions in the region, with both countries exchanging intense artillery and missile fire. The strikes on Pakistani air bases have prompted swift countermeasures, as Pakistan asserts its right to defend its sovereignty and respond to perceived threats.

The international community is closely monitoring the situation, urging both nations to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue to prevent further escalation. Diplomatic efforts are reportedly underway to ease the tensions, but the situation remains volatile as both sides continue to exchange hostilities.
