India’s army deputy chief Rahul Singh on July 4 said that China provided Pakistan with “live inputs” during a violent four-day conflict two months ago, highlighting the adversarial powers at play.

India on May 7 launched military strikes—known as Operation Sindoor—against Pakistan over territorial disputes in Pahalgam, which triggered a sharp escalation from both of the nuclear-armed countries. A cease-fire was announced on May 10, temporarily cooling political tensions.
