Tensions between India and Pakistan remain high days after Delhi launched airstrikes at its neighbor, sparking tit-for-tat military action from both sides and widespread confusion as competing claims and disinformation spread online.

The neighbors have been in conflict over the disputed border region since their independence and partition in 1947.

India accuses Pakistan of backing militants in Kashmir - a charge its neighbour denies. In 2019, Indian-administered Kashmir was stripped of its semi-autonomous status by the government in Delhi amid a huge security crackdown. For several years after the revocation of the region's special status, militancy waned and tourist visits soared.
