Tensions have escalated between India and Pakistan after the latter launched intense shelling on May 7 and 8 targeting forward villages in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan Armed Forces also launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along the Western Border on the intervening night of May 8 and 9, 2025.

Pakistan’s unprovoked drone and missile attacks in parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan followed India’s strategic counterstrike, Operation Sindoor, that targeted nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 tourists.
