India and Pakistan were locked in a brief but intense military confrontation in May, triggered by a terror attack in the Pahalgam valley of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, which claimed 26 innocent lives. Following the terror attack, India responded with Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, and over 100 terrorists, including high-value targets like Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf, and Mudasir Ahmed, were successfully eliminated in the operation.
