On May 10, 2025, India and Pakistan agreed on a “full and instant” ceasefire, in decades, one of the two neighbors in the nuclear world brought a temporary stop in one of the most intensive military growths. This announcement followed the cross -border missile attacks, the air involvement and the days of increasing enmity, which pushed the region to the brink of war on a full -scale war.
Way for growth
The conflict was ignited on April 22, 2025, when 26 civilians, including Hindu tourists, were killed in an extremist attack in Indian-affected Kashmir. India responded to Operation Sindoor 7 May, targeting the alleged terror infrastructure in Pakistan. Pakistan reciprocated with missiles and drone attacks on Indian cities including amritsar. The upcoming air cabinet consisted of over 120 fighter jets and resulted in several aircraft falling on both sides, marking the largest air confrontation since the Gulf War.

International reactions and implications
