On May 6, 2025, India initiated "Operation Sindoor," launching missile strikes on nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The operation targeted what India described as "terrorist infrastructure" linked to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians. India emphasized the strikes were "focused, measured, and non-escalatory," avoiding Pakistani military facilities. Pakistan reported at least eight civilian deaths, including a child, and 35 injuries, condemning the action as an "act of war." In retaliation, Pakistan claimed to have shot down five Indian warplanes, though this remains unverified. The United Nations has urged both nuclear-armed nations to exercise restraint. (PC: AP)
