On 7 May 2025, India conducted missile strikes on Pakistan and in Pakistan-administrated

Jammu and Kashmir, codenamed Operation Sindoor. India said it targeted terrorist
infrastructure of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed and that no Pakistani military
facilities have been targeted,[4] while Pakistan said India targeted civilian areas (including
mosques) and claimed that Indian strikes killed 26 Pakistani civilians, including children,[5]
and injured more than 46 people.[6][7] Pakistan stated that it had retaliated against the
Indian strikes, claiming to have downed a number of Indian jets and inflicting damage on
Indian infrastructure.[8] India said Pakistani cross-border artillery fire killed multiple
civilians, including children.[9][10][7]

India said that it had targeted terrorist camps across nine locations including Bahawalpur,
which is the hub of the Maulana Masood Azhar led Jaish-e-Mohammed, a U.N. designated
terrorist organization,[11] Subhan Allah camp, an alleged hub of Pakistan-based jihadist
organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed,[12][13] and Muridke near Lahore, a hub of the Hafiz
Saeed-led Lashkar-e-Taiba, another U.N. designated terror group.[11][14] Masood Azhar said
that 10 members of his family, including 5 children, were killed in India's airstrikes on the
group's headquarters at the Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur.[15]

The Indian strikes were in response to the 22 April terror attack by militants in Indian
Kashmir killing 28 civilians, mostly Hindu tourists.[16][17] The attack on tourists triggered
the 2025 India–Pakistan standoff, which is part of the broader Kashmir conflict.[18] India
accused Pakistan of supporting the militants, which Pakistan denied.[17][19]

According to the Indian media and government officials, there has been an ongoing
misinformation campaign after the Indian strikes by pro-Pakistani social media handles,
including claims of targeting the Indian airbase at Srinagar, destroying Indian Brigade
Headquarters and downing Indian jets which India denies.[20][21][22][23]
