On April 22, 2025, a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, killed 26 civilians, primarily Hindu tourists. The Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. In retaliation, India launched "Operation Sindoor" on May 7, targeting militant camps in Pakistan-administered regions. Pakistan reported civilian casualties and downed Indian aircraft, while India denied these claims. Subsequent days saw intense air engagements, with significant losses on both sides. India conducted nationwide civil defense drills, and both nations closed airspaces and heightened military readiness. The international community, including the UN, urged restraint. The situation remains tense, with ongoing military posturing and diplomatic challenges. (PC: Arab News & The Economic Times)
