Thu May 08 07:40:00 UTC 2025: ## India Launches Major Strike Against Pakistan, Killing Dozens of Terrorists

**NEW DELHI** – India launched a major counter-terrorism operation against Pakistan, resulting in the deaths of over 70 terrorists and their associates, according to Indian officials. This marks India’s largest strike against Pakistan since 1971. The operation, dubbed “Operation Sindoor” by some news outlets, has been lauded by Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.

While India claims a decisive victory, Pakistan has dismissed the claims as “lies, deceit and disinformation.” Concerns remain about potential retaliation from the Pakistani military, though analysts suggest a full-scale war is unlikely due to the economic consequences for both nations. The conflict has already impacted financial markets, with the Karachi Stock Exchange experiencing a downturn while Indian markets remain relatively calm.

The incident has sparked international attention, with US President Donald Trump offering to mediate and UK MP Priti Patel defending India’s actions. The conflict’s impact on various sectors is also being assessed, including its potential effect on Indian aviation and global trade. Meanwhile, parts of Delhi experienced temporary power outages as part of a separate security exercise, Operation Abhyaas.
