Operation Sindoor highlights: Drones sighted in 26 locations along LoC, International Border with Pak, says Defence Ministry

On May 9, 2025, India launched “Operation Sindoor” targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan-administered areas in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists. Strikes hit sites linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba using Rafale jets and missiles. Pakistan condemned the attacks, reported civilian casualties, and retaliated with missile strikes on Indian airbases. Both countries exchanged drone and artillery fire, escalating tensions. The situation has drawn international concern over the risk of a full-scale war between the nuclear-armed neighbors, with diplomatic interventions by the U.S. and Iran failing to ease hostilities so far. Evacuations and closures continue in border regions.
