India, Pakistan Clash After Pahalgam Attack

India launched 'Operation Sindoor,' striking nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, targeting what it called terrorist infrastructure linked to the recent Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people. Indian officials said the strikes were focused and deliberately avoided Pakistani military targets. Pakistan confirmed strikes in Muzaffarabad, Kotli, and Bahawalpur, reporting civilian casualties, including at least one child killed. Both countries have closed airspace and borders, reduced embassy staff, and suspended key treaties in response. Global leaders, including the UN Secretary-General and U.S. President Trump, have urged restraint and warned against further escalation. The crisis highlights the continued volatility in the disputed Kashmir region.
