On 7 May 2025, hostilities erupted between the [[Republic of India|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. | On 7 May 2025, hostilities erupted between the [[Republic of India|India]] and the [[Pakistan]] following India's missile strikes on Pakistan, referred to as '''Operation Sindoor'''{{refn|[[Hindi]]: ऑपरेशन सिन्दूर}}.
