The military confrontation had erupted between the two sides after Pakistan launched drone and missile attacks on several military installations in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan, following “Operation Sindoor” by India to destroy terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (PoK) to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
Pakistan had also resorted to unprovoked firing and heavy artillery shelling on civilians areas along the LoC and IB in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan. The unprovoked shelling was responded with effectiveness by the Indian Army.
After over three days of intense exchange of fire, India and Pakistan on May 10 reached an ‘understanding’ to immediately stop all firing and military action on land, air and sea. (KNO)
