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.
