In May 2025, intense cross-border clashes between India and Pakistan claimed over 50 lives, including 40 Pakistani civilians and 11 soldiers. The violence erupted after India launched Operation Sindoor—targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoK—in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 Hindu pilgrims. Pakistan denied involvement in the attack but reported major civilian casualties. Both nations exchanged drone and missile strikes in what is being called the worst conflict in decades. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire halted the fighting after four days, but diplomatic ties remain strained as both sides expelled senior envoys and warned of future escalation. (PC: Reuters)
