Pakistan faces security challenges amid Kashmir tensions and internal instability
Pakistan's military operations continue against militants with 27 insurgents neutralized, while geopolitical tensions persist over Kashmir and satellite surveillance capabilities. Domestic security gaps and regional diplomatic tensions with India and Bangladesh underscore ongoing internal and external pressures.
Why it matters
Pakistan-administered Kashmir has seen repeated mass mobilizations in recent years, notably the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee protests over subsidies and the cost of living, which have at times turned deadly and forced Islamabad into concessions. Renewed fatal clashes spotlight persistent governance grievances and the territory's sensitive status amid the broader India-Pakistan dispute over Kashmir.
