Ceasefire undermined by Pakistan's rogue commanders: Strategic options for New Delhi

With just six months to go before the world’s next major climate summit—COP30 in Brazil—most countries, including India, have yet to submit their updated climate action plans. That's according to the International Institute for Environment and Development.

A gun battle is underway in South Kashmir's Shopian district as security forces engage with terrorists. The encounter broke out during search operations when terrorists fired upon security forces. A reward of 20 lakh rupees has been announced for information on the terrorists.

Breaking | Operation Sindoor: Terrorists fired upon security forces during search operations

<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address to the nation on May 12 outlined that Operation Sindoor was not just a one-off exercise and is India&rsquo;s new policy against terrorism. Now, it is for Pakistan to deal with this "new normal." In a direct warning to Pakistan, PM Modi said that India's fight against terrorism will now include the Pakistani Army as well if they defended Indian Forces' action against the terrorists. The PM called out Islamabad's nuclear blackmail and warned that New Delhi won't give heed to it anymore. Moreover, the&nbsp;<span>Army Commanders in the western borders have been given "full authority" to launch counteraction against Pakistan if they breach the understanding of the ceasefire.&nbsp;</span>This marks a strategic shift in India's policies vis-a-vis Pakistan in general and terror in specific.&nbsp;</p>

<li><strong>No Distinction Between Terror Sponsors and Terrorists:</strong> In a strong message to Pakistan, PM Modi said, "<span>India will no longer see terrorist leaders and the governments sheltering them as separate entities."

The message is clear: For long, New Delhi took a legal route to bring the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack perpetrators to justice, but now India is going to hit the terrorists directly on the soil of Pakistan and if Pakistani administration fights for them: there will be no difference in the way both are treated by India.&nbsp;<br><br></span><span><strong>Read More | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/operation-sindoor-pm-modi-says-water-and-blood-cant-flow-together-9062454" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Operation Sindoor: PM Modi says 'water and blood' can't flow together</a><br><br></strong></span></li>
