We’ve seen these kinds of crises before. India and Pakistan have fought full-scale wars many times over the years, in 1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999. There were also cross-border strikes between the two sides in 2016 and 2019 that did not lead to a larger war.

Pakistan has officially authorized its armed forces to take “corresponding actions” following India’s missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This declaration comes after India launched Operation Sindoor early Wednesday, retaliating against the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir last month.

Pakistan claims to have retaliated to ‘Operation Sindoor’, circulating images of crashed aircraft, which India's Press Information Bureau debunked.

Indian Army on Wednesday released footage of its missile strike on the Abbas Terrorist Camp in Kotli, Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), claiming it was a key Lashkar-e-Taiba hub for training suicide bombers.

Following India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’- which saw targeted strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pok- Prime Minister Narendra Modi cancelled his significant upcoming tour to Europe. The three-nation visit, which included scheduled stops in Croatia, Norway, and the Netherlands, was being planned for mid-May.

India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack has triggered major disruptions in civil aviation, with over 200 flights cancelled and 18 airports temporarily shut following precision missile strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) early Wednesday morning.

India on Wednesday not only took revenge of Pahalgam terror attack under codenamed “Operation Sindoor” but also of other attacks which have been carried out by Pakistan-sponsored terror groups since 2001, including attacks on Parliament, Akshardham, Mumbai, Uri and Pulwama.

Parliamentary Affairs and Minister Kiren Rijiju posts on 'X': "Govt has called an All Party leaders meeting at 11 am on 8th May, 2025 at Committee Room: G-074, in the Parliament Library Building, Parliament Complex in New Delhi." 

Masood Azhar has reportedly confirmed that ten of his family members and four close aides were killed in Indian airstrikes carried out under Operation Sindoor.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has described Operation Sindoor as a “perfect strike” while briefing key Cabinet colleagues on India’s precision airstrikes targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Operation Sindoor reaffirms that this is a new India. Attacks will be met with swift and precise responses. In recent years, India has conducted 5 operations demonstrating its capabilities.

Operation Sindoor, lasting 25 minutes, successfully destroyed key terrorist infrastructures, including the infamous Muridke base, home to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Bahawalpur, a stronghold of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). These camps have been long-associated with orchestrating attacks on Indian soil.

India has successfully carried out a precision strike and Markaz Subhan Allah compound in Bahawalpur in Pakistan is one among them. This compound served as the key headquarters and training camp for the Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).

A video of the building in ruins has emerged, proving the effectiveness of the Indian military strike in retaliation to cross-border terrorism.
