Storyline: As tensions flare between India and Pakistan following a deadly attack in India-controlled Kashmir in late April, residents of Chakothi, a frontline village in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, are once again preparing for the worst. The attack, which left at least 25 people dead and several others injured, has intensified hostilities between the two countries, with both sides trading blame. For those living along the Line of Control (LoC) -- the de facto border -- the threat of war feels imminent. Located just two kilometers from the LoC, Chakothi has long lived under the shadow of conflict, with Indian army posts perched high on the surrounding hills. Beneath them lie 30 concrete bunkers. As tensions escalate, residents like Adeel Ahmad are once again preparing their bunkers. These bunkers, about three meters wide and just as deep, are the residents' only refuge. Across Chakothi, villagers are preparing more -- hauling straw, fixing wooden beams, and readying emergency supplies. The Pakistani government has also urged residents to stockpile rations for at least two months. Adeel's younger brother Abrar said that it's hard to focus on schoolwork when explosions rattle their village. The Pakistani government said nearly 1.5 million civilians live along the Line of Control. Many can't afford to leave -- tied to their livestock, homes, and history.
