J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, in an interview with NDTV, said Pakistan has “managed to internationalise Kashmir” following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

Abdullah reflected, “Everything has changed, and yet in some ways, nothing has.” He expressed concern over the crumbling ceasefire and growing international attention, especially from the US. The attack led to India's launch of Operation Sindoor, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and PoK. Pakistan responded with drones and artillery before agreeing to de-escalate after four days.

The Army said the authority covers action in the kinetic domain, meaning military force, including firing. India considers any future terror act from Pakistan an act of war. After the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists, India launched missile strikes on terror and military targets across Pakistan, including Sialkot, Chaklala, and Rahim Yar Khan.
