Editing Operation Sindoor (section)

== Pakistani Response ==

Pakistan condemned the strikes as an act of war, reporting 24 hits on six locations, including mosques, causing civilian deaths. It denied targeting claims, asserting hits on residential areas. In retaliation, Pakistan intensified LoC shelling in Poonch, Rajouri, and Kupwara, killing 11 Indians and damaging infrastructure like schools and a temple.

On 8 May, Pakistan launched drone and missile attacks on Amritsar and other sites, intercepted by India's S-400—its first combat use. India conducted suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) near Lahore. Pakistan downed 25 Harop munitions and struck back with cyberattacks on Indian satellites, websites, and surveillance systems.

On 10 May, Pakistan initiated Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, targeting 26 Indian sites including airbases and S-400 units with JF-17 jets, CM-400 missiles, and drones. It claimed destruction of facilities but satellite analysis showed minimal damage. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif authorized responses after consulting the army chief.
