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. The massacre of 26 people, mostly tourists, has devastated the Valley’s recovering economy, emptied tourist hotspots, shut schools, and grounded flights. 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.

Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has given full authority to Western Commanders to strike back if Pakistan violates the ceasefire deal reached on May 10 between both countries' DGMOs. This decision comes after Pakistan’s ceasefire and airspace violations on the night of May 10–11. 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.
