Executive Recap:

India has launched a major military operation called “Operation Sindoor.” This began with missile strikes on 9 targets inside Pakistan, specifically hitting sites linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Targets included:

Masood Azhar’s madrassa in Bahawalpur

Markaz-e-Tayyeba in Muridke

Masjid Sobhanullah in Ahmedpur East

Locations in Muzaffarabad and Kotli in Pakistani-administered Kashmir

India launched these strikes from within its own airspace, using long-range missiles. Civilian air traffic was immediately diverted. Pakistan has closed its airspace for 48 hours and called the attacks “cowardly and shameful,” citing civilian casualties inside mosques.

In response, Pakistan has now launched a retaliatory strike. Local reports say over a dozen targets in Indian-controlled Kashmir have been hit, including Srinagar Air Base. Pakistani Air Force and military forces are fully engaged in offensive operations.

Heavy artillery fire has also been exchanged across the Line of Control. Ceasefire is officially broken. Both sides are in active combat.

This is no longer a border skirmish — this is a bilateral, escalating military conflict. The threat of further escalation into full-scale war or nuclear posturing is now real.
