Following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, India launched "Operation Sindoor," targeting nine terror sites in Pakistan, some allegedly supported by the Pakistani establishment. Indian forces also retaliated against Pakistani aggression in areas like Poonch, striking air defense systems and other targets in Lahore. Pakistan's attempted retaliation was reportedly thwarted by India, intercepting drones and missile launchers aimed at Indian military bases and civilian areas. The escalation has left Pakistan in a diplomatically challenging position, with Army Chief General Asim Munir facing criticism. His prior statements, emphasizing the two-nation theory and referring to Kashmir as Pakistan's "jugular vein," are believed to have intensified tensions leading to the current crisis.
