Tensions between India and Pakistan have been escalated since the Indian military on May 7 carried out strikes – codenamed Operation Sindoor – on what it claimed were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 persons on April 22. The Pakistan Army retaliated by repeatedly shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. On May 8, the Indian armed forces said they had neutralised attempts by Pakistan to use drones and missiles to target military installations in 15 towns and cities on the previous night. That evening, India said it had repulsed several attacks using drones and other munitions along the western border. The two countries on May 10 arrived at an 'understanding' to stop all military action, after which the Army said that the night remained largely peaceful on May 11.
