India’s response to the Pahalgam attack was swift, strategic and unyielding. Operation Sindoor combined surgical military strikes with bold diplomatic and economic measures, sending an unmistakable message: terrorism will not be tolerated.

Tensions have risen between the nuclear-armed neighbors since an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir last month.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Saturday (10 May) said that Pakistan reached out to India, and the two countries negotiated and agreed to a ceasefire. This comes after days of military escalation and heightened tensions between the neighbours.
