On 7 May 2025, hostilities erupted between the India and the Pakistan following India's missile strikes on Pakistan, referred to as Operation Sindoor. This military action was a direct response to a terror attack on 22 April in the Jammu-Kashmir that resulted in the deaths of 28 civilians, primarily Hindu tourists. The Islamist terrorists killed the Hindu tourists after verifying their religion by asking them to remove their pants and recite the Kalma, an Islamic verse. The Pahalgam incident sparked the 2025 India–Pakistan standoff, which forms part of the larger Kashmir dispute.

The missile strikes specifically targeted militant groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, avoiding any Pakistani military installations. Pakistan contended that the Indian strikes hit civilian locations, including mosques, resulting in the deaths of 31 Pakistani civilians. However, various independent reports indicated that the focus was on terrorist targets.

In retaliation, Pakistan asserted that it had shot down several Indian aircraft and caused damage to Indian infrastructure. Additionally, cross-border artillery fire from Pakistan led to the deaths of 15 Indian civilians and 43 injured in the Poonch area of Jammu and Kashmir.[1][2]
