On May 7, 2025, India launched "Operation Sindoor," conducting airstrikes on nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, targeting alleged terrorist infrastructures linked to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 Indian tourists. Pakistan reported at least eight civilian deaths and 35 injuries, condemning the strikes as an "act of war" and claiming to have shot down multiple Indian jets. In response, Pakistan closed its airspace and vowed retaliation. The United States stated it is "monitoring the situation closely," while UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged both nations to exercise maximum restraint to prevent further escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
