Kashmir: Indian army given 'operational freedom' to respond DW 04/29/2025
Briefly

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has authorized the armed forces to respond to a deadly attack in Kashmir with complete operational freedom. This decision follows a shooting that left 26 Hindu tourists dead, which India attributes to Pakistan's support of Islamist militancy. Despite denials from Islamabad, India remains assertive, engaging in cross-border fire and asserting that Pakistan has attempted cyber infiltrations. Modi’s meeting with defense officials reflects escalating tensions and India's commitment to retaliate decisively, even as civilians in Kashmir prepare for potential fallout.
India blames the attack on Pakistan, accusing it of funding Islamist militancy in Kashmir, while Islamabad denies involvement, calling for an independent investigation.
Modi has authorized the military to respond with operational freedom, allowing them to determine the targets and timing of any action following a deadly attack.
