The strikes are a bodyblow for Pak military-ISI-terror nexus & the world now sympathises with India

In a swift response to Pakistan's aggression, India deployed its S-400 Sudarshan Chakra air defence system on May 7-8, successfully intercepting drones and missiles aimed at 15 Indian cities. The operation thwarted attempts to damage military installations, with debris recovered as evidence. India retaliated by neutralizing Pakistani air defence systems, including one in Lahore, after the attempted escalation.

Amidst escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) faces uncertainty. A drone strike near the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium led to the cancellation of two matches, prompting discussions about relocating remaining fixtures to Karachi. Concerns among England cricketers and coaches have also risen following recent military actions, potentially leading to their early departure from the tournament.

Beijing responded to Pakistan's claim about using Chinese jets against India. China urged India and Pakistan to show restraint. They condemned terrorism. India rejected Pakistan's claim of shooting down Rafael jets. China supports Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack. Chinese officials met with Pakistani leaders amid rising tensions. Operation Sindoor retaliated against the Pahalgam attack.

Unlike the past cross-border operations in PoK and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, this time India has targeted the headquarters of globally banned terror groups JeM and Lashkar, located deep inside Pakistan’s Punjab

Laura Loomer, a far-right activist, wished India good luck. This followed reports about India's Operation Sindoor. Loomer's tweet gained significant traction online. She is known for her controversial views and support for Donald Trump. Loomer has a history of making extreme statements. She has also unsuccessfully run for Congress. She remains a vocal figure in MAGA circles.

India's 'Operation Sindoor,' launched after the Pahalgam attack, has struck a JeM facility in Bahawalpur, potentially delivering justice in the 2002 Daniel Pearl murder case. The targeted facility was a known stronghold of Jaish-e-Mohammed, the terror group linked to Pearl's abduction and killing. This action brings a sense of closure to a long-standing tragedy.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh lauded the armed forces for 'Operation Sindoor,' which neutralized nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoK with remarkable precision, eliminating numerous terrorists in response to the Pahalgam attack. Singh emphasized the operation's accuracy and restraint in avoiding civilian casualties. He warned adversaries against exploiting India's patience, promising a strong response to provocations.
