Operation Sindoor is a series of missile attacks by Indian armed forces on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK in the early hours of 7 May 2025 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
Between 1:05 AM and 1:30 AM on 7 May, 2025, Indian armed forces struck 9 terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Pok). This included the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke and Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur. In a statement, the Indian government said its actions were “focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature” and that “no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted”.
Underlining the Pakistan link to the Pahalgam attack, the statement said India is “living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable”.
Pakistan reacted to the precision strikes by sending in drone swarms into Indian border states, and launching missiles on military and civilian infrastructure in India. Indian armed forces responded by striking airbases in Pakistan. On 10 May, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called his Indian counterpart and the two agreed on an understanding to cease all military hostilities starting 5 pm that day.
Hold on. Just a few weeks ago another article on this website said Chinese equipment is junk and useless. So which is it? You can’t have it both ways.
Yes, China will continue to back Pakistan for geopolitical reasons but that also has limits. Pakistan still continues to be a loyal American ally. Pakistan is also barely standing. Any widespread collapse and they first folks they’ll turn to is China. China is stuck keeping them on life support.
As for social media opinions, well the average Chinese is similar to the average Indian or American. They know little of world history besides what is shown in tv media or what they pick up on while scrolling on their phones.
