A Fragile Ceasefire Amid Escalating Tensions

Again in May 2025, the longstanding rivalry between India and Pakistan reached a critical juncture. A deadly attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, resulted in the deaths of 28 Indian tourists. India attributed the attack to Pakistan-backed militants, without providing any evidence and igniting a series of military escalations

Things start escalating very fast and on May 7, India launched “Operation Sindoor,” targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure on multiple locations in different cities of Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

India utilizes French-made Rafale jets equipped with long-range glide SCALP missiles and AASM Hammer bombs; the operation aimed at nine locations, including Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Muzaffarabad. India reported the elimination of over 100 militants in targeted locations with little or no collateral damage, However, Pakistan claimed civilian casualties and the downing of five Indian jets. But these claims are still not verified by any Indian official, and there is also no physical evidence of these claims until now. All internal media media not confirmed any of these claims made by the Pakistan Air Force. More will be unfolded as the war will more progresses.

 

After all these missile attacks inside Pakistan’s territory by India. Pakistan vows revenge of its innocent civilian casualties. In retaliation, Pakistan initiated “Operation Bunyan al-Marsus” early morning on May 10 at around, conducting drone and missile strikes across various Indian cities, including New Delhi. This marked the first instance of a UAV war between two nuclear-armed nations for a short period. Pakistan reported shooting down 77 Indian drones in border area and capital territory near civilian population, while India claimed to intercept multiple Pakistani missiles using the Russian-made S-400 air defense system actively used by the Indian army and  Indian air force.
