India-Pakistan Tensions Escalate: De Facto War Over Terrorism
Following the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 tourists, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. In response to Pakistan’s subsequent military action, Indian Ambassador Vinay Kwatra stated that India is at war with terrorism, not Pakistan, emphasizing Pakistan’s support for these terrorist organizations. Kwatra highlighted the brutality of the attack and India’s measured response to provocation. India’s actions were presented as a justifiable response to the massacre and a commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable.
