Amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions, Pakistani hackers reportedly launched a large-scale cyber offensive targeting major Indian government websites, including the Ministry of Defence and National Informatics Centre. The attacks, which resulted in site defacements and service disruptions, are being seen as a digital response to India's recent online censorship of Pakistani media and artists. The move marks a new phase of conflict where cyberspace becomes an active theatre of hostilities. Analysts warn that such offensives could escalate the crisis beyond diplomatic or military domains, further destabilising the region’s digital infrastructure.
