India-Pakistan: Airports closed, eerie silence in Indian-administered Kashmir

On May 7, 2025, India suspended operations at 16 airports in its northern and western regions and launched precision strikes against militant targets located in Pakistan and areas of Kashmir under Pakistani control.
These actions followed the Pahalgam terror attack two weeks earlier that killed 26 civilians, prompting India to launch Operation Sindoor to neutralize terrorist infrastructure.
Operation Sindoor was a coordinated effort involving ground, naval, and air units of India’s armed forces to conduct precision strikes against nine terrorist locations associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The Ministry of Defence stated the strikes were focused and measured, targeting militants but not Pakistani military facilities, while civilian airport closures impacted around 160 IndiGo flights and others.
Following the strikes and heightened ceasefire violations, vital installations near borders remain on high alert, and political leaders express solidarity amid calls for tension de-escalation.
