Indian army recruits from the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry march during their parade at army headquarters in Srinagar, India, on June 5, 2025. India launched a series of missile strikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir early Wednesday, targeting what it described as “terrorist infrastructure” in retaliation for a deadly terrorist attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir two weeks earlier. Pakistan reported civilian casualties from the strikes, condemned the action as unprovoked aggression, and said to have shot down several Indian jets, escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors to their highest level in years.
