Tensions between India and Pakistan surged after the April 22 Pahalgam attack, when 26 people, most of whom were shot dead by terrorists. After a series of diplomatic actions, India conducted a coordinated missile strike at terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir earlier this week, and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said 100 terrorists were killed in the attack. New Delhi said terrorists linked to Pakistani groups planned and carried out the attack on Pahargam.
