### **Summary:**

U.S. Vice President JD Vance expressed hope that **Pakistan will cooperate with India** in dealing with **militants allegedly operating from Pakistani territory**, following a **deadly April 22 attack** in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed **26 people**. While the U.S. condemned the attack and voiced support for India, it stopped short of directly blaming Pakistan, urging both **India and Pakistan to avoid escalating tensions**. Vance’s remarks are the **strongest U.S. implication yet** linking Pakistan to the attack. Meanwhile, the U.S. has been in contact with both governments, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has spoken with Indian and Pakistani leaders. In response to the attack, India suspended a water-sharing treaty and both nations closed airspace and exchanged border fire. The incident raises fears of wider conflict in the **disputed, nuclear-armed region of Kashmir**.
