Indian Thought Latest News & Views
Tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified following a series of military actions in early May 2025. On May 7, India conducted “Operation Sindoor,” targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, prompted by a deadly attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir. In response, Pakistan launched drones and missiles targeting Indian military bases, with India intercepting eight missiles and neutralizing Pakistan’s air defense system in Lahore on May 8, escalating the conflict to its worst in nearly three decades.
The conflict has raised fears of a broader confrontation, with both nations exchanging accusations of aggression. Pakistan denied involvement in the initial tourist attack, while India recovered debris linking the attacks to Pakistan. Cross-border fire, drone incursions, and shelling have continued, with civilians and soldiers affected on both sides. The international community, including the U.K., has responded by suspending trade talks with Israel and focusing on the India-Pakistan crisis, highlighting global concerns about nuclear-armed neighbors.
