On May 6, 2025, India announced that its armed forces launched “Operation Sindoor,” targeting nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, according to a government statement.

This military action was in response to a deadly terrorist attack on April 22, 2025, in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, where 26 Hindu tourists were killed, marking the worst civilian attack in the region in nearly two decades. India accused Pakistan of involvement in the attack, a claim Pakistan denied.

The Indian strikes were described as precise, aimed at alleged terrorist infrastructure, though specific details on the targets or casualties were not fully disclosed in available reports.

Posts on X, which should be treated as inconclusive, mentioned strikes in areas like Muzaffarabad, Kotli, and Bahawalpur, with some claiming Pakistani military confirmation, but these lack official verification.

Pakistan condemned the strikes, with its Information Minister Attaullah Tarar stating that any aggression would meet a “decisive response,” and the Pakistani military tested missiles, including the Fatah series and Abdali Weapon System, to signal readiness.

Tensions have escalated, with both nations exchanging gunfire along the Line of Control and implementing diplomatic measures like expelling diplomats and suspending treaties.

The situation remains volatile, with global calls for de-escalation from the U.S., China, and the U.N., given the nuclear capabilities of both nations.

Masood Azhar’s madrassa in Bahawalpur

India launched these strikes from within its own airspace, using long-range missiles. Civilian air traffic was immediately diverted. Pakistan has closed its airspace for 48 hours and called the attacks “cowardly and shameful,” citing civilian casualties inside mosques.
