Escalating tensions after Kashmir attack prompt direct action by Indian Army
The tension between India e Paquistão took on new contours. The Indian Armed Forces announced the holding of the “Operation Sindoor”, with attacks on nine targets located in Pakistani territory and in the Jammu and Kashmir region, currently under the administration of the Paquistão.
Chosen targets and official justification
According to the Indian Ministry of Defense, the attacks targeted infrastructure used to plan and coordinate offensives against Indian territory.
In an official statement, the government stated that the actions were “focused, measured and non-escalating in nature".

The ministry also stressed that no Pakistani military installations were hit and that India acted with “considerable restraint” in the choice of targets and in the form of execution.
The Pakistani army confirmed the attacks and accused India of launching missiles at three locations on its territory.
Islamabad has vowed to respond to the attacks.
The military spokesman said the country is ready to act and the situation is being closely monitored. President Trump has taken a position on the Indian attack.
"It's a shame. We've only just heard about this. I think people knew something was going to happen based on a little bit of the past. They've been fighting for a long time. They've been fighting for many, many decades. And centuries, actually, if you think about it. I hope it ends very quickly."
The fuse: Pahalgam attack
The Indian operation was prompted by the April 22 attack in Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir.
On that occasion, armed men in camouflage clothing opened fire on tourists at Baisaran meadow.
The attack left 26 people dead — 25 Indians and one Nepalese — and was considered the deadliest of its kind in the region in 25 years.
The victims were surprised while climbing on foot or on horseback in a restricted access area.
The attack occurred while the vice president of the United States, JD Vance was visiting India on an official trip.
Accusations and appeals for evidence
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the Indian government blamed Pakistan and demanded punishment for those involved. Islamabad, for its part, denied any involvement and called for a “neutral” investigation into the incident.
Furthermore, foreign countries have called for restraint on both sides.
Since the attack, relations between India and Pakistan have worsened.
The countries have reduced diplomatic dialogue, interrupted bilateral treaties and mutually expelled foreign citizens.
Pakistan even claimed in late April that it had “reliable information” about possible attacks from India.
