Tensions between India and Pakistan have flared dangerously after the downing of multiple Indian fighter jets during Operation Sindoor—an airstrike launched in response to a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam.

India and Pakistan were engaged on Friday in their most expansive military conflict in decades, with widespread accounts of attacks in both countries well beyond their disputed Kashmir border. The conflict has escalated rapidly since Indian airstrikes hit targets in Pakistan and the Pakistani-controlled side of Kashmir on Wednesday.
