India and Pakistan's conflict

India and Pakistan entered into a full-fledged conflict after India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

The operation was in response to the recent terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam region. The attack killed 26 people, mostly tourists.

On Thursday and Friday, the Indian Armed Forces successfully repelled and responded to multiple drone attacks by Pakistan along the western border and the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
