What we know so far.
Overnight, India has conducted missile strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan Administered Kashmir as part of “Operation Sindoor”. Reports suggest there have been at least 24 strikes across nine target locations and that explosions could be heard across Kashmir. This is part of India’s response to the Pahalgam attack that occurred last month in Indian Administered Kashmir which left 26 people dead. Here is what we know so far.
- At least eight people have been killed as a result of the Indian strikes, with more than 30 people injured.
- Pakistan’s Lt General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry claimed just hours ago that Pakistan’s military had shot down two Indian air force jets.
- There have been multiple exchanges of fire across the Line of Control (LoC) that separates Indian Administered Kashmir from Pakistan Administered Kashmir. This has killed at least three people so far.
- Kashmiris are still experiencing a crackdown by Indian security forces that began shortly after the Pahalgam attack. This includes mass surveillance, home demolitions, cordon and search operations, and numerous detentions.
The next few hours will be crucial.
- On the ground in India, there are numerous military exercises taking place and it is believed that as the day progresses, we will see evacuation drills being practiced....
