Pakistan’s appeal to the global community comes after India exposed Islamabad’s double-standards when it comes to terrorism. On May 7, India carried out ‘Operation Sindoor’ targeting 9 terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. India maintained that the precision strikes did not target military installations and were non-escalatory in nature.

However, Pakistan tried to bomb 15 Indian cities the next day and continued to fire drones and missiles targeting Indian military installations as well as key sites. India, though, neutralised all attacks using its air defence system. In retaliation, India has targeted many sites across PoK and Pakistan, targeting Islamabad’s air defence systems.

This is a developing story.
