The first war of 2025 has officially begun. India vs. Pakistan.

It started with a sudden exchange of gunfire between soldiers at the Kashmir border.

Now, here’s what that means.

Kashmir is a region both India and Pakistan claim as theirs. It has been a point of serious tension for over 70 years. Sometimes things go quiet, and other times, like now, it explodes.

The border area called the Line of Control is heavily guarded. But a few days ago, shots were fired. Soldiers died.

But this is not just a small fight. This is war.

India recently removed a law that gave Kashmir special treatment. That decision angered many people, especially in Pakistan. The Pakistani government saw it as a direct threat and responded fast.

Now, both countries have sent more troops to the border. Fighter jets, missiles, and the world is paying attention.

Why does this matter?

Because India and Pakistan both have nuclear weapons. If this escalates, it could affect not just South Asia but the entire world.

And there's more.

China supports Pakistan. The U.S. supports India. Russia is staying quiet. If these bigger powers get involved, it could turn into something even more dangerous.

Also, India is a major player in the world’s tech and trade industries. If war continues, prices may rise. Global markets could feel the shock. And millions of people could be affected, even outside Asia.

2025 is just getting started. And already, the world is standing on the edge of something serious.
