On the night of May 9, 2025, and into the morning of May 10, 2025, military tensions between India and Pakistan intensified significantly. According to reports from The Hindu, the Indian armed forces initiated 'Operation Sindoor,' a series of precision attacks targeting Pakistani military installations, including air bases and technical infrastructure. This action was taken in direct retaliation for earlier strikes by Pakistan, which reportedly involved a range of projectiles and fighter aircraft targeting Indian military and civilian infrastructure. The escalation marks one of the most serious flare-ups between the two nuclear-armed neighbors in recent years. Both sides have exchanged artillery and missile fire, with damage reported on both military and civilian targets. The situation has raised international concern, with calls for restraint from global powers. Historically, India and Pakistan have had a fraught relationship, with several wars and frequent border skirmishes, particularly over the disputed Kashmir region. The current escalation underscores the volatility of the relationship and the potential risks of further military confrontation.
