India attacks Pakistan
2025-05-06
[NYTimes] The strikes came after an attack by militants killed more than two dozen civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir and are an intensification of a conflict between two nuclear powers.

India said early Wednesday that it had conducted strikes on Pakistan, two weeks after an attack by armed militants killed more than two dozen civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Interesting that the New York Times stylebook slavishly copies the Pakistani term, instead of calling it Jammu and Kashmir, as India calls its own territory..
The Indian government said its forces had struck nine sites in Pakistan and on Pakistan’s side of the disputed Kashmir region. Pakistani military officials said that five places had been hit, in Punjab Province and its part of Kashmir.

“Our actions have been focused, measured, and nonescalatory in nature,” the Indian government said. “No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted.”

In its own statement, the Pakistani government said that the strikes “will not go unanswered” and that it would respond at “a time and place of its own choosing.” It added, “The temporary pleasure of India will be replaced by enduring grief.”

Pakistani military officials said they had begun a “measured but forceful” response. They did not share operational details but said that retaliation was underway.

The precise nature of the Indian strikes — whether they involved missiles fired from India or Indian fighter jets crossing into Pakistan — was unclear. The Pakistani military said that Indian planes did not enter Pakistan’s airspace in conducting the attacks.
