On May 7, 2025, India launched missile strikes targeting suspected militant camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 Indian tourists. The Indian government described the strikes as precise and preventive, targeting groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. However, security analysts argue the attacks are more symbolic than strategic, lacking sustained impact on militant infrastructure. Experts like Ajai Sahni suggest such moves are primarily aimed at domestic political audiences rather than delivering a long-term counterterrorism solution or effective cross-border deterrence.
