A Tense Scenario: India-Pakistan Military Conflict

New Delhi: In an unusual move, a top military official from Pakistan made a call to India just as the ceasefire announcement was about to be made. This revelation came during a government briefing today.

The Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries exchanged words at 3.35 pm today, as revealed by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri.

A tense hour preceded the ceasefire announcement, with India threatening that any future acts of terror by Pakistan would be considered an act of war, and India would retaliate accordingly. This warning was significant, considering Pakistan had been launching drone and missile attacks on military installations and civilian areas in northern India for the last three nights. Fortunately, most of these attacks were successfully thwarted by India's robust air defense network.

"Over the past few days, Pakistan suffered heavy and unsustainable losses after its unprovoked attack on Indian installations," Wing Commander Vyomika Singh stated at today's briefing. "There has been extensive damage to crucial Pakistani air bases like Skardu, Sargodha, Jacobabad, and Bholari."

According to her, the loss of air defense weapon systems and radars made Pakistan's air defense unsustainable. "Across the Line of Control," she continued, "extensive and precise damage to military infrastructure and command control centres, logistic installations, and other vital targets were inflicted."

The conflict began with a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 tourists, many of them Indian military personnel. In response, India launched precision cruise missile strikes at terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).

Pakistan, on the other hand, escalated the situation further by attacking civilian areas in India with drones. India's response was a series of precise strikes against selected military targets deep inside Pakistani territory. These strikes targeted radar installations, command and control centres, and ammunition depots in Rafiqui, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Sialkot.

The recent history of military conflicts between India and Pakistan has been marked by a rapid escalation in violence, culminating in a complex cycle of strikes, counterstrikes, and diplomatic efforts. Key events include the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Operation Sindoor and the airstrikes, drone and missile exchanges, civilian impact and escalation, and diplomatic responses to de-escalate.

The United States brokered a ceasefire agreement after weeks of escalating violence, with third-party mediations from countries like the UK, Saudi Arabia, and Iran seeking to facilitate peace talks. Despite these efforts, direct communication between India and Pakistan remained limited, with diplomacy primarily managed through back channels and intermediaries.

This cycle highlights the persistent volatility in India-Pakistan relations, where military confrontations rapidly escalate into missile and drone engagements, prompting urgent international mediation to prevent a broader conflict, especially given both nations’ nuclear capabilities.

  1. The ceasefire between India and Pakistan, scheduled to be announced, was disrupted when a top military official from Pakistan made an unexpected call to India.
  2. During the tense exchange between the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan, India threatened that any future attacks from Pakistan would be considered as acts of war.
  3. In the wake of Pakistan's drone and missile attacks on military installations and civilian areas in northern India, India inflicted extensive damage to Pakistani air bases and military infrastructure.
  4. The recent India-Pakistan military conflict, escalated by events like the Pahalgam terrorist attack and Pakistan's subsequent drone attacks on Indian civilian areas, has been marked by a complicated series of strikes, counterstrikes, and diplomatic efforts.
