Tensions between India and Pakistan escalate as total blackouts were reported in Srinagar amidst the ongoing hostilities, accompanied by three consecutive bomb blasts. Furthermore, a drone attack in Ferozepur on May 8 resulted in the injury of three individuals[2].
Operation 'Sindoor' Evolution
India initiated Operation 'Sindoor' on May 7, 2025, with a series of precision strikes against militant groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan. Reports indicate more than 100 terrorists gunned down in the operation[1]. However, Pakistan claims the strikes targeted civilian areas, including mosques, causing the death of 31 civilians[3].
Diplomatic Strife
Diplomatic relations between the two nations are fraught, with India expelling Pakistani diplomats, recalling its own diplomatic staff, suspending visa services, closing borders, and announcing the withdrawal from the Indus Waters Treaty[3]. Pakistan, in retaliation, imposed trade restrictions, closed airspace, and halted border crossings, as well as the 1972 Shimla Agreement[3].
Continued Military Engagements
Military clashes and artillery shelling persist between India and Pakistan, escalating from April 24 to May 6[3]. The international community, including the U.S., encourages both nations to avoid further escalation[2]. Unfortunately, specific details about the blackouts in Srinagar and Poonch are not forthcoming in the available reports.
