Human and economic pressure: Three Indian sailors were killed in a U.S. strike on an oil tanker, and energy-driven inflation concerns spread as oil prices jumped. Diplomacy Under Strain: Pakistan urged both sides to respect the ceasefire and “widen the space” for dialogue, while the Kremlin called for a return to talks.
