India has asked a Pakistani official at the High Commission in New Delhi to leave the country within 24 hours. The official was declared "persona non grata" for actions not fitting his diplomatic role. A formal notice was given to Pakistan’s Charge d’Affaires. This move comes as tensions rise after India’s Operation Sindoor, a strike against terror camps in Pakistan. The operation followed the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, where 26 people, including a tourist from Nepal, were killed. India says it will not tolerate support for terrorism and will respond strongly to such threats. (PC: PTI)

Pakistan has confirmed that five of its air force men, including Chief Technician Aurangzeb, were killed in India’s recent air strikes. This is the first time Pakistan admitted losing PAF personnel, supporting India’s claim of downing fighter jets during Operation Sindoor. Pakistan said 11 soldiers and 40 civilians died in the strikes, while 78 others were hurt. India said it only targeted terror camps and avoided civilian harm. Sources said India shot down one F-16 and two JF-17 jets during Pakistan’s failed airspace breach. India also claimed 100 terrorists were killed in the strikes that followed the Pahalgam terror attack. (PC: India Today)

India has firmly restated its stand on Kashmir, saying, “The outstanding matter is the vacation of illegally occupied territory by Pakistan.” On Tuesday, the External Affairs Ministry said talks with Pakistan will only happen on two issues—terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Prime Minister Modi had earlier declared, “If we ever talk to Pakistan, it will be on terror and PoK only.” India also rejected US President Trump’s offer to mediate, stressing that Kashmir is a bilateral issue. “Terror and talks can’t go together,” the PM said, ruling out any dialogue until Pakistan stops backing cross-border terrorism.

India’s air strikes on 11 Pakistani airbases on May 10 destroyed nearly 20% of Pakistan’s air force, top sources said. The attacks hit key bases like Sargodha, Bholari, and Noor Khan, damaging fighter jets and killing over 50 people, including a squadron leader. Satellite images show heavy damage at multiple sites. This marks the first time a country has hit so many airbases of a nuclear-armed nation in one operation. India used drones and missiles to weaken Pakistan’s defences. Prime Minister Modi said the strike hit Pakistan hard and fast, calling it a historic move in India's defence strategy. (PC: @detresfa_/X)

4 days after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire, several strict measures remain in place. India had launched strikes after a deadly attack in Kashmir. In response, both countries took harsh steps. India stopped the Indus Waters Treaty, suspended visas, and closed trade and borders. Pakistan replied with its own bans, including shutting airspace to Indian flights. Families are separated, flights are delayed, and trade is frozen. Though the firing has stopped, life is not yet back to normal. Talks have not resumed, and none of the restrictions have been lifted. The future of ties remains uncertain. (PC: Getty Images)

India on Tuesday firmly rejected former US President Donald Trump’s claim of preventing a nuclear war between India and Pakistan amid Operation Sindoor. The Ministry of External Affairs clarified that the entire military exchange remained within the conventional realm, with no nuclear threat involved. Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasized India’s resolve against “nuclear blackmail,” asserting that India will never succumb to such pressure. PM Modi had earlier stated that operations were only paused, not ended, depending on Pakistan’s conduct. Reports of strikes on Pakistan’s Kirana Hills, allegedly linked to its nuclear arsenal, were also dismissed by Indian Air Force officials. (PC: India Today)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Adampur Air Force base in Punjab, sending a strong signal to Pakistan amid false claims of damage to the facility. Posing before the operational S-400 missile system, Modi praised the armed forces, saying India is “eternally grateful” for their bravery. Pakistan had claimed it destroyed the Adampur base using JF-17 jets, but India debunked the narrative, citing morphed images and minimal damage. Modi's visit followed his national address warning Pakistan that “Operation Sindoor” would resume if provoked. Satellite imagery has since confirmed India’s precision strikes on Pakistani military infrastructure during the recent conflict. (PC: X/NarendraModi)

In a major counter-terror operation, Indian Army troops neutralized three Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists in Shopian’s Keller area, Jammu & Kashmir, on May 13. The operation was launched following specific intelligence inputs from a Rashtriya Rifles unit. A fierce firefight ensued after terrorists opened fire, leading to their elimination. The Army confirmed the operation is ongoing. This encounter comes shortly after India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire amid heightened tensions following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. A government official reiterated that any future terror act on Indian soil would now be treated as an "act of war" and met with full force. (PC: The times of India)

Following its successful deployment in Operation Sindoor, the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile has garnered massive global attention, with 17 countries now expressing interest in procurement. Capable of flying at Mach 3 with pinpoint accuracy, BrahMos proved its strategic edge during India's retaliation against Pakistan’s terror infrastructure. Nations such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Egypt are in advanced talks, while the Philippines already received its first batch. Jointly developed by India and Russia, BrahMos is admired for its versatility, deployable from land, air, and sea. Its success is cementing India’s position as a key player in the global defense market. (PC: AP)

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Indian armed forces for the successful Operation Sindoor, Pakistan strongly reacted, rejecting what it called "provocative and inflammatory assertions" by the Indian PM. Operation Sindoor, conducted on May 7, targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack. Modi warned that India would retaliate harder if provoked again. Pakistan's foreign ministry reiterated its commitment to the recent ceasefire but cautioned that any future aggression would be met with “full resolve.” Tensions remain high despite a ceasefire announced on May 10 following U.S. mediation.
