New Delhi said the strikes were directed at “terrorist camps” and not the Pakistani armed forces or civilians. “Our actions have been focused, measured, and non-escalatory in nature,” the Indian government said, noting it“has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and method of execution.” | |
Islamabad has condemned the strikes as a “heinous provocation” and vowed retaliation. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that Pakistan “has every right to respond forcefully to this act of war imposed by India.” | |
Since the Indian strikes, Islamabad has responded with shelling across the Line of Control, the de facto border between the countries in Kashmir. The cross-border fire has resulted in 16 civilian deaths, according to the Indian government. | |
India and Pakistan also traded accusations of drone attacks, with both sides claiming to have taken down unmanned aerial vehicles. | |
The ongoing “Operation Sindoor” follows the April 22 attack in Baisaran Valley, which left 26 civilians dead. India has held Pakistan indirectly responsible, alleging cross-border militant involvement. Islamabad has vehemently denied that it had any role in the attack and has called for an impartial probe. |
