India Strikes Pakistan Over Tourist Killings

Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors escalate, sparking fear and uncertainty in the region. On May 7, the Indian Armed Forces launch 'Operation Sindoor', targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian government states that it carries out military strikes on nine sites in Pakistan in retaliation for the deadly militant attack on tourists at the popular resort town of Pahalgam in south Kashmir on April 22, 2025, which leaves 26 tourists dead.
