India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in retaliation, striking terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Both nations exchanged drone attacks and precision-guided missiles in what has been described as the most significant military engagement between the two nuclear-armed neighbors in over five decades.

NEW DELHI (AP) — India has only “paused” its military action and will “retaliate on its own terms” if there is any future terror attack on the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Monday in his first public comments since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire over the weekend.

India had a clear edge over Pakistan in a recent military standoff, with satellite imagery showing precision strikes on key Pakistani military targets, according to a detailed New York Times report.
