(NewsNation) — Tensions are growing between India and Pakistan after the two countries launched attacks against each other in recent weeks.
Pakistan has responded to India’s deadly airstrikes in its country and Kashmir, calling them “an act of war.” India said the attacks were retaliation for an attack that happened last month that killed Indian tourists.
Both countries have vowed revenge, and there is now concern of a potential nuclear attack, as both countries are armed with nuclear weapons and have a history of grievances between them.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed Trump’s remarks of wanting a quick end and peaceful resolution between the two countries, taking on social media platform X where he also said he is “monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan very closely.”
