Encounter in J&K's Budgam; 3 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists trapped

A major escalation is unfolding as a ballistic missile launched from Iran entered Turkish airspace before being intercepted by NATO defences in the eastern Mediterranean. This marks the fourth such incident, raising alarms over the conflict spilling into NATO territory. Turkey has issued a stern warning, vowing decisive action against any threat. The situation is further complicated by Ankara’s delicate ties with Iran, even as it strengthens its NATO commitments. Plans to establish a new NATO multinational corps in Turkey signal rising military preparedness. With missiles crossing borders and alliances tightening, the risk of a broader regional war is rapidly increasing.
