Thu May 08 21:26:54 UTC 2025: ## Drone War Escalates Between India and Pakistan
**ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI** – Tensions between India and Pakistan soared this week following a series of cross-border drone attacks and interceptions. Pakistan’s military claims to have downed 25 Indian drones over major cities, including Karachi and Lahore. India, in turn, alleges that Pakistan launched drone and missile strikes targeting Indian territory and Indian-administered Kashmir, all of which were successfully intercepted. The escalating drone warfare has ignited fears of a dangerous new escalation in the long-running conflict between the two nuclear-armed rivals. Both nations have yet to provide concrete evidence to support their respective claims, heightening anxieties about the potential for further military action. The incident raises concerns about the stability of the region and the risk of unintended escalation.
