It's the latest escalation in a conflict triggered by a gun massacre last month that India blames on Pakistan.The explosions on Saturday were heard in the disputed region's two major cities, Srinagar and Jammu, as well as the garrison town of Udhampur."Explosions that we are hearing today are different from the ones we heard last two nights during drone attacks," said Sheesh Paul Vaid, the region's former top police official and a resident of Jammu. "It looks like a war here."G7 nations urge India and Pakistan to have direct dialogueThe Group of Seven nations, known as the G7, has urged "maximum restraint" from both India and Pakistan as hostilities flared."Further military escalation poses a serious threat to regional stability. We are deeply concerned for the safety of civilians on both sides," a statement by Canada on behalf of G7 foreign ministers said on Friday before the latest round of strikes."We call for immediate de-escalation and encourage both countries to engage in direct dialogue towards a peaceful outcome," the statement wrote.The Indian army said in a statement late on Friday that drones were sighted in 26 locations in Indian states bordering Pakistan and in Indian-controlled Kashmir, including the region's main city, Srinagar.It said the drones were tracked and engaged."The situation is under close and constant watch, and prompt action is being taken wherever necessary," the statement said.India suspends top cricket tournamentIndia's biggest domestic cricket tournament was suspended for one week on Friday following the escalation of military tensions with Pakistan.The Indian Premier League, which features top players from around the world and attracts hundreds of millions of TV viewers, was halted with immediate effect, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said."Further updates regarding the new schedule and venues of the tournament will be announced in due course after a comprehensive assessment of the situation in consultation with relevant authorities and stakeholders," the BCCI said in a statement.LoadingPosted 55m ago55 minutes agoSat 10 May 2025 at 1:37am, updated 35m ago35 minutes agoSat 10 May 2025 at 1:56amShare optionsCopy linkFacebookX (formerly Twitter)Top Stories'Third party' vote looks set to beat CoalitionTopic:ElectionsPhoto shows A triangular chart showing an example of some electorates shifting from LNP to 'Other candidates' at the 2025 federal electionTrump says he has a new plan for Gaza.
