Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated sharply following India’s launch of Operation Sindoor, a counterattack in response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. On the evening of May 8, Pakistan retaliated by targeting several Indian cities with missiles and drones. In response, the Indian Armed Forces struck back decisively. Amid this rising conflict, U.S. Secretary of State has called for an immediate de-escalation during discussions with Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
