Update on 🇮🇳🇵🇰 : As part of Operation Sindoor, India conducted 24 airstrikes on six sites in Pakistan, deploying SCALP missiles, Hammer bombs, and Rafale fighter jets. Islamabad reported eight fatalities, 35 injuries, and described the strikes as an “act of war,” accusing India of breaching its sovereignty.

Pakistan claims it downed up to five Indian aircraft. Global reactions followed swiftly: the UN called for restraint, the U.S. voiced support for India but also called Pakistan a partner, while Turkey sided with Pakistan. China urged both nations to deescalate. Regional flights have been suspended as the situation remains volatile.
