A deadly terrorist attack in Baisaran Valley triggered a swift and severe response from India in April 2025. Diplomatic ties crumbled, borders closed, and LoC skirmishes intensified. By May 10th, India launched "Operation Sindoor," conducting missile strikes inside Pakistan, claiming to target terrorist infrastructure. Pakistan retaliated with its own strikes and reported Indian air raids on its airbases, leading to the closure of its airspace and reports of explosions in major cities. The international community has urged de-escalation as the nuclear-armed neighbors teeter on the brink of a wider conflict.
