India-Pakistan Tensions Rise After Operation Sindoor

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated after India launched 'Operation Sindoor', targeting alleged terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to a deadly attack in Jammu & Kashmir. Pakistan condemned the missile and drone strikes, reporting 31 civilian deaths, and claimed to have shot down several Indian drones equipped with Israeli technology. Both nations have placed border areas on high alert and begun evacuating civilians, anticipating further conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump and UN officials have expressed concern, urged restraint, and offered to mediate, but India has declined external intervention. The U.S. has expressed support for India's anti-terrorism efforts and warned its citizens about possible conflict in the region. The situation remains volatile, with both sides preparing for escalation and global powers monitoring developments closely.
