The conflict involves India targeting non-state actors (terrorist groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba) based in Pakistan, which India accuses Pakistan of supporting. Pakistan denies direct involvement, framing India’s actions as aggression against its sovereignty. This asymmetry pits a state (India) against non-state actors, with Pakistan’s alleged complicity complicating the dynamics.
