Pahalgam terror attack

On April 22, 2025, armed terrorists of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) opened fire at Hindu tourists in the Baisaran Valley in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. In the deadly attack, 26 innocent lives were lost.

The attack shook the entire nation, with India vowing strong action against cross-border terrorism and justice to those who lost their loved ones in the terror incident. Indian armed forces were on high alert as top officials held closed-door meetings. In a quick diplomatic move, India put the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan in abeyance a day after the attack and also closed its border crossings with Pakistan.

Operation Sindoor

On May 7, India retaliated against the devastating Pahalgam terror attack by launching precision strikes against nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes conducted under Operation Sindoor targeted the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Taiba Muridke base. Over 100 terrorists were killed in the operation, including Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf and Mudasir Ahmed.

Following the Indian strikes, Pakistan launched attacks on Indian cities, which led to military confrontations between the two nations. India and Pakistan traded fire for four days, during which India destroyed several terror and military targets in Pakistan. While a ceasefire was declared after both sides reached an agreement, India has warned that Operation Sindoor is the new normal, maintaining that the operation remains ongoing.
