Marka-e-Haq victory
Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), which killed 26 people.
India blamed Pakistan-based elements for the assault but provided no evidence. Pakistan condemned the attack and strongly denied the Indian allegations.
The confrontation erupted on May 6–7 as India launched its attack against Pakistan, which spiralled into the gravest military clash between the South Asian neighbours in decades.
Despite repeated warnings from the Pakistani government, India, fuelled by its media’s war-driven rhetoric, continued provocative actions, including frequent drone incursions, which ultimately prompted Pakistan to retaliate.
Pakistan intercepted multiple BrahMos supersonic missiles before launching the military operation on May 10, deploying its Al-Fatah missile system and targeting multiple Indian military installations.

Key targets included BrahMos storage facilities at Beas and S-400 air defence systems at Adampur and Bhuj.
Moreover, the Pakistan Air Force shot down six Indian jets, including French Rafale, and carried out strikes on several Indian airbases.
Following these developments, India requested intervention from US President Donald Trump, which ultimately led to a ceasefire agreement between the two nuclear-armed neighbours on May 10.
