Fallouts Of Indo-Pak Military Skirmishes

The political tension, sparked by a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Kashmir on 22 April, brought the two nuclear power countries of South Asia to the brink of a full-scale war. This situation had emerged when the Indian Air Force launched a retaliatory strike codenamed "Operation Sindoor" on May 7, targeting what it claimed were terrorist camps deep into Pakistan-held Kashmir. The operation sent shock waves across the globe. Luckily, the timely engagement of major global powers, particularly the United States, helped de-escalate the conflict and secure a ceasefire before the situation would spiral out of control.
