Turkey sends top delegation to Pakistan amid rising tensions

Amid rising India-Pakistan tensions following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Turkey has sent a top military intelligence delegation to Pakistan, led by Lt. Gen. Yasar Kadioglu. The visit, along with Turkish cargo planes landing in Pakistan, has sparked speculation about deepening Turkey-Pakistan defence ties. Turkey, Pakistan’s second-largest arms supplier, has denied sending combat gear. President Erdogan called for de-escalation, while India remains on high alert, with PM Modi granting the military full operational freedom for a potential response.
