On May 7, 2025, India launched airstrikes on nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, including Muzaffarabad and Kotli, in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 Hindu tourists. Pakistan reported eight deaths and condemned the strikes as a "blatant act of war," vowing retaliation. India's Operation Sindoor targeted terrorist infrastructure linked to groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. International leaders urged restraint: U.S. President Donald Trump called the situation "a shame," Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized peaceful engagement, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for maximum military restraint, and Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi expressed deep concern over potential escalation, urging dialogue for South Asia's peace and stability.
