India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire following Operation Sindoor, but violations by Pakistan were reported soon after. Calm returned late Saturday, though drone sightings continued. On Sunday, border states remained largely peaceful, with blackouts in some districts. Markets reopened under heavy security, and schools in Punjab are set to resume. The Armed Forces confirmed over 100 terrorists killed and readiness to respond further. US President Donald Trump offered to mediate on Kashmir, a move welcomed by Pakistan but rejected by India, which insisted the only issue is Pakistan vacating occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, in an interview with NDTV, said Pakistan has “managed to internationalise Kashmir” following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The massacre of 26 people, mostly tourists, has devastated the Valley’s recovering economy, emptied tourist hotspots, shut schools, and grounded flights. Abdullah reflected, “Everything has changed, and yet in some ways, nothing has.” He expressed concern over the crumbling ceasefire and growing international attention, especially from the US. The attack led to India's launch of Operation Sindoor, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and PoK. Pakistan responded with drones and artillery before agreeing to de-escalate after four days.

Satellite images from Chinese firm MIZAZVISION have confirmed substantial damage to Pakistan’s Nur Khan Air Base in Rawalpindi following precision Indian strikes during Operation Sindoor. The base, critical to Pakistan’s transport and strategic airlift capabilities, houses C-130 Hercules, IL-78 refuelers, and VIP aircraft. Strikes also hit airbases at Murid and Rafiqui, as acknowledged by Pakistan Army spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif. The escalation followed the Pahalgam terror attack, prompting a four-day exchange of fire. A ceasefire was later announced, with India confirming talks were limited to military channels, countering US claims of broader negotiations. (PC: India Today)

In a major revelation during a Sunday press briefing, Air Marshal AK Bharti confirmed, "We've downed a few planes," referring to Pakistani jets hit during Operation Sindoor. The Indian Air Force successfully prevented Pakistani aircraft from entering Indian airspace and inflicted losses, including the downing of high-tech jets. The military released satellite images of destroyed terror infrastructure across Pakistan and PoK, asserting all Indian pilots are safe and debunking Pakistani claims of Rafale losses. Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Indian forces warned of swift retaliation against any further aggression or ceasefire violations. (PC: News18)

In a strong retaliatory action, the Border Security Force (BSF) destroyed a terrorist launch pad in Looni, Sialkot district of Pakistan, after unprovoked firing by Pakistan Rangers on May 10.

BSF confirmed the death of two personnel—Constable Deepak Chimngakham and Sub-Inspector Mohammed Imteyaz—due to the shelling. Eight others from the 7th Battalion were injured. A wreath-laying ceremony was held in Jammu, and the fallen troopers will be laid to rest with full honours. India reaffirmed its right to respond to provocations decisively. (PC: Hindustan Times)

DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai confirmed that 35 to 40 Pakistani soldiers were killed in Indian retaliatory strikes along the Line of Control between May 7 and 10. The strikes were part of Operation Sindoor, launched after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. India initially targeted only terrorist infrastructure, not military personnel. However, after Pakistan used drones against Indian civilian and military areas, India responded by hitting radar sites near Lahore and Gujranwala. The Army emphasized it doesn’t seek escalation but will respond firmly to terror threats, keeping the focus on terrorist groups, not the Pakistani military. (PC: News18)

Vice Admiral AN Pramod revealed that the Indian Navy was fully prepared to strike key Pakistani targets, including Karachi, during Operation Sindoor launched on May 7. Speaking at a joint military briefing, he said the Navy maintained a decisive forward position in the Arabian Sea, forcing Pakistan’s naval units to stay near their harbours. India’s response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians, included air and ground precision strikes, while the Navy conducted combat drills and remained on standby. The Vice Admiral emphasized that India’s response was measured, proportionate, and aimed at preventing further escalation. (PC: India Today)

Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has given full authority to Western Commanders to strike back if Pakistan violates the ceasefire deal reached on May 10 between both countries' DGMOs. This decision comes after Pakistan’s ceasefire and airspace violations on the night of May 10–11. The Army said the authority covers action in the kinetic domain, meaning military force, including firing. India considers any future terror act from Pakistan an act of war. After the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists, India launched missile strikes on terror and military targets across Pakistan, including Sialkot, Chaklala, and Rahim Yar Khan.

  In a bold aerial confrontation under Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force successfully intercepted and shot down several Pakistani fighter jets attempting to violate Indian airspace. Among the downed aircraft were a Pakistani F-16, two JF-17s, and a valuable AWACS surveillance plane. The incident, confirmed by Air Marshal AK Bharti, marks a significant escalation in regional tensions. Indian forces also carried out precision strikes on key Pakistani military installations. Although wreckage was reportedly spotted, official confirmation is pending. This marks one of the most decisive aerial engagements in recent years.
