India-Pakistan tensions have surged to a boiling point after India's military strikes on the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians, comprising primarily tourists, lost their lives. In retaliatory action, Indian armed forces made targeted missile attacks in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) during the early hours of Wednesday, May 7.

Conducted under the flag of Operation Sindoor, the raids targeted 21 terror camps located in nine various places. The attacks were 'focused, measured, and non-escalatory', as stated by the government, with the aim that no military bases were targeted.

What Triggered the Operation The offensive was initiated following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's firm declaration to "identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers." Two of the key targets included Jaish-e-Mohammad's headquarters in Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's Markaz Taiba in Muridke both suspected of harbouring terrorists involved in planning attacks against India.
