India has accused Pakistan of supporting the militants responsible for the attack, a claim Pakistan vehemently denies, labeling the incident a “false flag operation.” The situation has led to increased military activity along the Line of Control, with nightly exchanges of fire reported. International actors, including the United States and China, have called for restraint and a peaceful resolution to the escalating tensions.
