On May 7, to avenge the deaths of 26 tourists killed in Pahalgam attack, India had launched Operation Sindoor, which was paused following a call for ceasefire. On the intervening night of May 6-7, the Indian Army and Indian Air Force launched a joint strike targeting nine terror hubs located in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The terror hubs housed militia from outfits including the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.

As per the reports more than 100 terrorists were killed in the strike. Retaliating against the terror strike, Pakistan responded by cross-border shelling along the Line of Control and International Border, and aerial strikes targeting the military and civilian infrastructure.

Following the escalations, India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across 11 air bases in Pakistan.
