Pakistan warned on April 30 that India may launch a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours as tensions between the two nuclear powers continue to mount.
In a statement posted on the X social network, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said that Islamabad has “credible intelligence” that New Delhi is planning to take military action under the “pretext of baseless and concocted allegations of involvement” in the April 22 terrorist attack on the tourist resort of Pahalgam which killed 26 people.
“Pakistan reiterates that any such military adventurism by India would be responded to assuredly and decisively. The international community must remain alive to the reality that the onus of escalatory spiral and its ensuing consequences shall squarely lie with India,” the minister added.
Pakistan denied any involvement in the terrorist attack, which was claimed by The Resistance Front. Still, India said the attack had “cross-border” links.
New Delhi expelled Pakistani diplomats, closing border crossings, and went as far as halting a vital water-sharing agreement for the first time ever. In retaliation, Islamabad closed its airspace to Indian flights and suspended all bilateral trade.
The tensions translated into military buildup on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir over the last few days, with reports of sporadic clashes.
The LoC is a military control line between the Indian- and Pakistani-controlled parts of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. The line which does not constitute a legally recognized international boundary, but serves as the de facto border. It was established as part of the Simla Agreement at the end of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
Pakistani forces shelled several Indian military posts in the Leepa sector along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir on April 29.
A more serious exchange of fire took place in the Sialkot sector, which is located on the internationally-recognized border between the two countries.
India and Pakistan clashed on several occasions in recent years. In 2020, they came very close to an all-out war when India launched a series of strikes against targets in Pakistani territories following a car bomb attack in Jammu and Kashmir. At the time, Pakistan responded by shooting down a helicopter and a fighter jet.
The current crisis appears to be more serious as clashes on the ground are clearly intensifying. Any further escalation by either side could spark a war.

somebody clearly wanted conflict between these 2 powers with that provocation, the question is…who was it? who benefits from conflict between pakistan and india?
on april 29, pakistani forces bombed an indian military post in the leepa sector of jammu and kashmir. a more serious clash occurred in the sialkot region. currently, indian drones are flying over pakistan to plan where to deploy their tanks and to develop strategies on where to launch an attack. tank shipments from eastern india to the pakistani border are ongoing by train, and at least 100 tanks are now ready at the border to enter pakistan.

zif pakistan acts first and launches an attack, destroying indian military units before india can respond, the conflict could end before it even begins. historically, surprise offensives have played a decisive role in the india-pakistan conflicts, such as during the first indo-pakistan war where surprise attacks shifted the balance
given the current military balance, india has a significant numerical and technological advantage in personnel, tanks, and air power, but a preemptive strike by pakistan could disrupt indian plans and potentially delay or prevent a full-scale indian offensive. however, considering the scale of forces mobilized on both sides, such an early strike might lead to rapid escalation rather than an immediate end to hostilities.
