Tue May 06 21:42:11 UTC 2025: ## India Launches Cross-Border Strikes in Pakistan, Killing Two
**ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI** – India launched a series of military strikes across the border into Pakistan early this morning, targeting multiple sites in what the Indian Ministry of Defence has termed “Operation Sindoor.” The strikes, which reportedly resulted in at least two fatalities according to the Pakistani military, come in retaliation for a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir last month.
Video footage purportedly showing the strikes in the Bahawalpur region of Pakistan has emerged online. Indian officials claim the operation targeted terrorist training camps and infrastructure, citing Pakistan’s responsibility for the February attack in Pahalgam that left 26 people dead.
Pakistan has yet to release a comprehensive statement detailing the extent of the damage or casualties, but has confirmed the strikes and the loss of life. Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours have significantly escalated following the recent attack in Pahalgam. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and urging both sides to exercise restraint and de-escalate the conflict. Further details regarding the specific targets and the full extent of the damage are still emerging.
