Operation Sindoor: India Launches Missile Strikes on Pakistani Terror Hubs Following Pahalgam Attack
On May 6, 2025, India launched “Operation Sindoor,” a series of missile strikes targeting nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The operation was in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack in Indian Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, predominantly Hindu tourists. India attributed the attack to The Resistance Front, an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, and accused Pakistan of supporting the perpetrators.
India described the strikes as “focused, measured, and non-escalatory,” emphasizing that no Pakistani military facilities were targeted. The targeted sites were identified as terrorist infrastructure linked to groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
Pakistan condemned the strikes as an “act of war” and vowed to respond accordingly.
The situation remains tense, with both nations exchanging artillery fire across the Line of Control. International leaders, including UN Secretary-General António Guterres, have expressed concern and urged both sides to exercise restraint to prevent further escalation
After Indian forces have executed Operation Sindoor, Indian Prime Minister has called for a Cabinet Committee on Security today at 11.00 AM IST.
Indian Air Force have fired on 9 terror hubs that include Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, Muridke, Kotli & some other locations in Pakistan that include Jaish e Mohammad (JEM HQ) in Bawahalpur and LeT (Lashkar e Taiba HQ in Muridke). LOC (Line of Control) is experiencing heavy firing.
A Pakistani military spokesperson informed that the number of civilian deaths from Indian airstrikes has increased to 8 as of now. Additionally, two individuals are reported missing, and 35 others have been injured. According to the spokesperson, up to 24 strikes were carried out across 9 different sites.
The situation described is indeed tense and complex. The strikes by India, labeled as “focused and measured,” seem to be a direct response to the earlier attack in Pahalgam. However, declaring such actions as “non-escalatory” while targeting nine locations raises questions about the potential for further conflict. It’s concerning how Pakistan has labeled this as an “act of war,” which could lead to a significant escalation. The involvement of international leaders like the UN Secretary-General highlights the gravity of the situation. Do you think diplomatic solutions are still viable, or is this a path toward inevitable conflict? How can both nations ensure civilian safety while addressing these tensions?

Pakistan is not having capabilities the way they show off. It took a few Brahmosh missiles on their air bases to make Pakistan DGMO call the Indian DGMO asking for ceasefire. And India accepted to temporarily pause till the next mistake to be done by Pakistan. This much happened.
