Operation Sindoor:

Following Operation Sindoor, discussions between the two nations’ Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOS) led to the temporary closure of airports. After India began Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting missiles at nine terror locations in Pakistan and PoK in retaliation for the 26-person Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, tensions between India and Pakistan increased.

Pakistan used drones and artillery guns to carry out several provocative escalations following Operation Sindoor. Following that, there was a lot of shelling and cross-firing between India and Pakistan along the border. “India and Pakistan have worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action today (Saturday),” said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on May 10. Additionally, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) phoned India and decided to halt all military operations in the area, according to Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri.
