Overview

  • India and Pakistan remain in a tenuous ceasefire following a deadly April 22 terror attack that killed 26 tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir.
  • India launched 'Operation Sindoor' on May 7, targeting alleged terrorist camps in Pakistan and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, escalating tensions.
  • The US mediated a ceasefire on May 10, averting a potential full-scale war, though both nations continue to trade accusations of violations and drone incursions.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi has warned that India is prepared to retaliate against any Pakistani aggression, while Pakistan celebrates its military's actions during the conflict.
  • Economic fallout from the hostilities includes disrupted air traffic and concerns over long-term instability, compounded by strained regional and international relations.
