A series of cross-border shelling, missile, and drone strikes occurred between India and Pakistan from May 7 to May 10, primarily affecting the District in India — Jammu and Kashmir. This confrontation was triggered by India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The hostilities resulted in 28 civilian deaths and over 70 injuries, leading to the displacement of thousands of people. Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the India — Indian National Congress, visited the affected areas on May 24 to meet victims and pledged to raise their issues at the national level. An understanding was reached between India and Pakistan on May 10 to end the military confrontation.
