Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated significantly following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in 26 fatalities. In response, India conducted strikes on nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists during Operation Sindoor. This prompted retaliatory drone and missile attacks from the Pakistani Army, which were intercepted by Indian forces. A high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 12 included key government officials and military leaders, as both nations sought to de-escalate tensions after agreeing to a ceasefire two days prior. The discussions followed a surprise claim by US President Donald Trump, who stated that the US mediated the talks. Additionally, 32 airports closed due to the conflict are set to reopen for civil flight operations. 
Published: May 12 2025, 11 ameznews.inNEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted strikes on military targets near Karachi, Pakistan, in a measured response to recent Pakistani aggression, including drone and missile attacks. Air Marshal AK Bharti confirmed that the IAF targeted a surface-to-air missile site at Malir Cantonment, approximately 35km from Karachi, as well as radar installations in Lahore and near Gujranwala. This operation was part of India's broader military response, dubbed Operation Sindoor, which also involved the Navy's deployment of battle groups to deter Pakistani forces. The operation resulted in significant casualties among terrorists and damage to terror infrastructure. Following these strikes, both nations engaged in retaliatory attacks, leading to civilian casualties and the downing of fighter jets on both sides. A ceasefire was reached after approximately 100 hours of conflict, although Pakistan reportedly violated the agreement shortly after its announcement, prompting India to warn of a stronger military response if necessary.
Published: May 12 2025, 2 pmeznews.inIndian armed forces emphasized today that Operation Sindoor was exclusively aimed at terror camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, asserting that any casualties incurred by the Pakistan military are their own responsibility. Air Marshal AK Bharti, speaking at a special media briefing, stated, "Our fight was against terrorism, that's why we only struck terror camps on May 7." He further accused the Pakistan military of aligning itself with terrorists, thereby transforming the situation into a conflict in which they bear the consequences of their actions. The operation underscores India's ongoing stance against terrorism and its commitment to targeting militant infrastructure in the region.
Published: May 12 2025, 1 pmeznews.inShashi Tharoor, Congress MP and former diplomat, criticized US President Donald Trump's claim of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, asserting that the US role was not mediation but rather a constructive engagement. In a statement to NDTV, Tharoor described Trump's approach as "very unfortunate" and emphasized that India did not seek mediation, as both countries had been in direct communication through their foreign ministers. Trump had announced the ceasefire on his Truth Social platform, congratulating both nations for their decision, and expressed willingness to assist in resolving the Kashmir issue. However, India has consistently maintained that Kashmir is an integral part of its territory and opposes any third-party mediation. The ceasefire followed intense cross-border hostilities, including drone and missile attacks from Pakistan after India conducted Operation Sindoor in response to a terror attack.
Published: May 12 2025, 12 pmeznews.inThe U.S. has shifted its stance on the India-Pakistan conflict, with Vice-President JD Vance asserting that the U.S. has "no business" in the war, contrasting sharply with previous administrations that actively mediated. Following a recent terrorist attack, President Trump condemned the violence but later criticized India's military response, reflecting a more hands-off approach. The U.S. now appears divided between an "America first" policy and a desire for limited engagement. Meanwhile, Pakistan is bolstered by new alliances with Azerbaijan and Turkey, which supply military equipment, and China continues to support Pakistan's military capabilities. The International Monetary Fund's recent loan to Pakistan raises concerns about financing a nation engaged in conflict. As the geopolitical landscape evolves, India may need to reassess its foreign policy and alliances, recognizing that it must navigate a complex environment where traditional partnerships may no longer hold.
Published: May 12 2025, 12 pmeznews.inIndia's aviation regulator has announced the reopening of 32 airports in northern and northwestern regions, including Srinagar, Chandigarh, and Amritsar, following a ceasefire agreement with Pakistan amid heightened tensions. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) confirmed that these airports are now available for civil aircraft operations, advising travellers to check flight statuses with their airlines. The initial closure, affecting 24 airports, was extended due to airspace restrictions related to India's Operation Sindoor, which involved airstrikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This escalation followed the April 22 massacre of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, attributed to Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. Despite Pakistan's denial of involvement, Indian forces claimed to have killed around 100 terrorists during the operation. The situation prompted airspace closures on both sides, with Pakistan also restricting its airspace to civil airlines in response.
Published: May 12 2025, 11 ameznews.inIndia's recent military operation, dubbed Operation Sindoor, marks a significant shift in its response to cross-border aggression, according to senior BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar. Launched on May 7, the three-day campaign targeted terrorist infrastructure and military sites within Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, following a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that claimed 26 lives. Chandrasekhar emphasized that Pakistan's military often resorts to terrorism to divert attention from its domestic issues, and he criticized its Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, for attempting to frame the conflict in religious terms. The operation reportedly struck 11 Pakistani airfields and resulted in the deaths of 35-40 Pakistani military personnel and over 100 terrorists. India's advancements in military technology, he noted, have created a significant asymmetry with Pakistan, establishing a new "red line" in regional security dynamics.
Published: May 12 2025, 11 ameznews.inDr G Satheesh Reddy, former chairperson of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), commended the use of indigenous military systems during Operation Sindoor, a targeted strike against terror infrastructures in Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam attack. In an interview with NDTV, he emphasized India's self-reliance, or "aatmanirbhar," in developing advanced technologies that caught adversaries off guard. Reddy highlighted the successful deployment of the Drone-Detect, Deter and Destroy (D4) system, likening it to Israel's Iron Dome, and noted the effectiveness of the Akash missile system in neutralizing threats during the conflict. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in promoting indigenous development, which has led to over 65% of the armed forces' capabilities being homegrown. Reddy also acknowledged the contributions of Indian start-ups in advancing drone technologies, marking a significant achievement for the nation.

The investigation began after the mother reported her son missing, stating he had not returned home from tuition. Police inquiries revealed her relationship with Haloi, who subsequently confessed to the murder during questioning and led officers to the suitcase's location. Haloi has been arrested, while the mother, separated from the boy's father, is in custody for her potential involvement in the crime. The victim's father has also provided a statement to the police regarding the case.
Published: May 12 2025, 10 ameznews.inSenior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has defended Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri amid a surge of online abuse following the recent ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Tharoor condemned the trolling as "preposterous," praising Misri's efforts during a critical period in India-Pakistan relations. The ceasefire, announced on May 10 after four days of escalating military tensions, was facilitated by discussions between the Director Generals of Military Operations of both nations. Misri's announcement was met with coordinated social media attacks questioning his patriotism and doxxing his family, prompting widespread condemnation from civil society and political leaders, including support from the IAS and IRTS associations. Opposition figures criticized the government's inaction in protecting Misri's dignity, emphasizing that civil servants should not be blamed for political decisions. The Ministry of External Affairs has yet to comment on the situation.
