Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation regarding ‘Operation Sindoor,’ emphasizing that the operation has only been suspended, not concluded. “Pakistan must understand—our strikes are not over,” Modi warned. He stated that future assessments of Pakistan’s actions will depend on its sincerity in tackling terrorism. “If Pakistan backtracks or deceives, we will act again,” he added. Modi said India’s targeted strikes not only dismantled terror infrastructure but also broke enemy morale. “Wherever terrorists hide, India will strike—and respond forcefully to any attack on our soil,” he concluded.

Though the sound of gunfire and drones has ceased, fear continues to haunt residents of Azad Kashmir and Jammu’s border areas even after the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Many families remain in temporary shelters on the hillsides, uncertain about returning home. “Should we return or not?” is the daily debate in refugee camps. In Azad Kashmir alone, 1,146 families remain displaced. An emergency police directive in Jammu on Sunday urged frontline village residents not to return just yet.

A bakery in Hyderabad named "Karachi Bakery" was vandalized by activists of India’s ruling Hindu nationalist party, BJP, for allegedly bearing a “Pakistani” name. The attackers trampled on Pakistan’s flag and shouted anti-Pakistan slogans. Video footage shows them targeting the bakery’s signboard, especially the word "Karachi." Police intervened before major damage occurred but later released the suspects, citing the bakery’s decision not to press charges. The shop often becomes a target during periods of heightened India-Pakistan tensions.

In response to alleged ceasefire and airspace violations by Pakistan on the night of May 10–11, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has reviewed the situation along the western border and authorized local commanders to respond fully. According to an Indian Army spokesperson, this decision follows discussions with Pakistan’s DGMO, where Pakistan’s alleged breach of the ceasefire commitment was addressed.

On Sunday afternoon, the Indian Air Force (IAF) announced that all assigned tasks under “Operation Sindhur” had been completed with precision and professionalism. The IAF stressed that operations were conducted with careful planning and strategic foresight in line with national objectives. They added that as the operation is still underway, further details will be shared later. The IAF urged the public to avoid spreading unverified information. Notably, a ceasefire was brokered by the United States between the two countries involved.

While hostilities between India and Pakistan have paused due to U.S.-led mediation, diplomatic tensions persist. India remains firm on its decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, made at the start of the crisis. The two nations are expected to engage in talks soon, but the diplomatic standoff appears far from over.

Despite a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump—announced on Truth Social—both nations accused each other of violations just hours after it came into effect. New Delhi claims Islamabad breached the deal with repeated attacks, prompting military retaliation. In turn, Pakistan’s foreign ministry asserted its commitment to the truce while blaming India for aggression.

Contrary to reports of a ceasefire, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah shared a video showing air defense units firing in central Srinagar. Al Jazeera reports residents heard multiple explosions, causing widespread panic and power outages. This comes despite the earlier announcement of an immediate ceasefire brokered by the United States between India and Pakistan.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations contacted his Indian counterpart at 3:35 PM IST. Both sides agreed to halt all forms of military actions—land, air, and sea—starting from 5 PM IST. The ceasefire will be enforced on both sides. Misri also noted that the two military leaders would hold follow-up talks on Monday, the 12th, at noon.

India launched coordinated missile strikes on three Pakistani Air Force bases: Nur Khan in Rawalpindi, Rafiqui in Sargodha, and Moraid in Chakwal. Pakistan claimed to have intercepted the attack on Nur Khan, which had just hosted Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir. While some missiles penetrated Indian air defense, no major damage was reported. Pakistan closed its airspace nationwide until midday Saturday.

Pakistan launched drone and artillery strikes on 26 Indian military targets across Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and other northwestern states. Indian military officials confirmed three injuries and several fatalities. Over 400 Turkish-made Songar drones were reportedly used. Targeted locations included Jammu, Samba, Pathankot, Srinagar, Amritsar, Barmer, and Bhuj, among others.

A series of explosions rocked Jammu on Friday night following a sudden blackout. Local residents reported witnessing red flares and blasts lighting up the night sky. Rasul Singh, a resident, told Al Jazeera that the power went out around 8 PM local time, and 15–30 minutes later, drone attacks began. Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah confirmed ongoing blackouts and sirens throughout the city, later tweeting that heavy artillery fire could be heard from his location.

Panic and anxiety are spreading across Indian cities as fears mount over the escalating tensions with Pakistan. Many residents spent a sleepless night amid uncertainty and fear, as nuclear-armed neighbors exchange accusations of cross-border attacks. India claims to have shot down Pakistani drones, while confusion reigns online as rumors mix with facts, heightening public anxiety. From Delhi to Bengaluru, emergency preparedness drills are underway. Air raid sirens and blackout simulations are adding to the panic. People evacuated from border areas are struggling with sudden expenses for household essentials, unsure of when—or if—they will return home.

According to Reuters, citing U.S. officials, Pakistan used Chinese-made J-10 fighter jets to launch air-to-air missiles that downed at least two Indian aircraft. One of the jets was reportedly a French-made Rafale. India has yet to acknowledge any aircraft losses. Pakistan previously claimed it had destroyed five Indian warplanes, including three Rafales.

India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri declined to confirm or deny Pakistan’s claims of downing five Indian fighter jets and killing 50 Indian soldiers in recent cross-border clashes. When asked, Misri said the government would release official information at an appropriate time. He also refused to respond to claims made by Pakistani Information Minister Ataullah Tarar and commented only briefly on Pakistan’s reported loss of 100 lives, urging the media to wait as only 36 hours had passed since the airstrikes.
