India and Pakistan are in crisis again - here's how they de-escalated in the past.

Last week's deadly militant attack in Pahalgam in Kashmir , which claimed 26 civilian lives, reignited a grim sense of déjà vu for India 's security forces and diplomats.

Each time, India has held Pakistan -based militant groups responsible for the attacks, accusing Islamabad of tacitly supporting them.

India pushed for JeM chief Masood Azhar's designation as a terrorist by the UN sanctions committee and inclusion on the EU 's "autonomous terror list" Pakistan said the attack was a "false-flag operation" The crisis escalated dramatically the next morning , 27 February , when Pakistan launched retaliatory air raids.

India activated multiple diplomatic channels, with US and UK envoys pressing Islamabad .
