Indian military aircraft launch missile strikes on three Pakistani air bases
Hear ye, Hear ye! Here's the lowdown on the recent military operation, Operation Sindoor, launched by India against Pakistan. Buckle up, folks, we're diving into a tale as old as time - the eternal dance of power between two nations.
What Happened?
On the wee hours of May 7, India whipped up a military operation, targeting a few hubs of "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan. Seems Pakistan didn't appreciate this and counter-struck right back, bringing the heat. The operation's name, Operation Sindoor, is a throwback to '71 when India took on Pakistan in a similarly scorching move.
So, How'd It Go Down?
As reported by Geo TV, the operation was a response to an April 22 terrorist attack that left 26 tourists – including one Nepali – dead in the contentious land of Jammu and Kashmir. India points the finger at Pakistan, while Islamabad brushes off New Delhi's accusations as biased and politically motivated.
The Aftermath
Ex-Foreign Minister Chaudhry claimed no damage was caused by the strike. But the loss of fighter jets on the Indian side wasn't something to brush off lightly. The Indian government acknowledged the loss, though it didn't specify numbers or types. On the other hand, Pakistani sources boasted of shooting down five Indian aircraft, including some fancy Rafale jets and a couple of others.
Tensions Rising
The situation between India and Pakistan remains pised off, to say the least, following Operation Sindoor. With divergent claims about losses and victories, tensions are escalating, with India flexing its military muscle and Pakistan framing the operation as a flop for the Indian Air Force.
Recent Updates
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs and other government agencies are under pressure to offer more regular updates, aiming to bring some clarity amidst conflicting reports. The Resistance Front, an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba with alleged Pakistani backing, is thought to have claimed the terrorist attack targeted in Operation Sindoor. India is trying to get the UN to designate TRF, but they're facing resistance from Pakistan.
