India Fires Missiles at 'Terrorist Infrastructure' in Pakistan, Says Government

On May 7, 2025, India launched multiple missile strikes targeting what it described as “terrorist infrastructure” in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The Indian government stated that the operation was a direct response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians, and blamed the Pakistan-backed militant group The Resistance Front. Branded as "Operation Sindoor," the strikes were intended to neutralize terrorist threats while minimizing civilian casualties. Pakistan condemned the action, reporting civilian deaths and retaliated with claims of shooting down Indian military assets. The escalation has significantly heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations, prompting global calls for restraint.
