Following a recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan, life has gradually returned to normal in Jammu and Kashmir cities that have witnessed Pakistani missile and drone attacks last week. Prime Minister on Tuesday lauded the Indian Armed Force on the stupendous success of the operation Sindoor stating that that the slogan of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' is the resolve of every soldier who is ready to sacrifice their lives for the country, adding that when it echoes in the war field as well as in the missions. The prime minister's speech comes amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan. The two countries have been engaged in cross-border firing and aerial exchanges for the past few days.
The tensions between India and Pakistan flared after Pak-based terrorists gunned down 26 people, mostly civilians, in Pahalgam of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, 2025. Operation Sindoor came as a response to the terror attack. This was followed by a drone strike by Pakistan on May 8, against which the Indian forces defended the nation successfully. The drone strike continued the next day, following which India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire agreement on May 10 afternoon. The bilateral agreement did not last long as it was violated by Pakistan by nightfall. Pakistan again launched a drone strike in the border states of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat. The MEA, in its briefing, said Pakistan violated the bilateral agreement on stopping all forms of aggression on land, air and sea. The government has now directed the armed forces to give befitting response to the Pakistani attacks.
