The operation was carried out by Amit Shah, and it has raised concerns about Pakistan violating ceasefire agreements. This comes amid tensions between India and Pakistan, with recent clashes at the border and a reported "bloodbath" killing 5000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers in Ukraine.

Pakistan retaliated with drone and missile attacks on Indian installations, but was thwarted by India's air defence systems. India then struck back at Pakistani air defence systems in Lahore and key military bases like Nur Khan airbase. After a pause in hostilities, Pakistan sought a ceasefire, which India agreed to, but warned it would respond decisively to any terror attack originating from Pakistan.

The aerial battle on May 6 was unprecedented, with over 125 modern fighter jets from both sides engaging each other for air superiority. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif claimed that 75-80 Indian fighter jets were airborne, while the Pakistani Air Force responded with around 50 jets. This rare clash pitted a combination of Russian MiG-29s, Su-30s, French Mirage-2000s, and Rafales against Chinese JF-17 and J-10C fighter jets, potentially including American F-16s as well.

In Indian strikes, 53 individuals, including 13 military personnel and 40 civilians, were killed. Lt Gen Chaudhry accused India of failing to provide evidence for blaming Pakistan for a terrorist attack in Kashmir that left 26 tourists dead. He claimed India was using incidents as an excuse for terrorism and argued it was cracking down on Muslims and Sikhs, fueling extremism. Pakistan's DG ISPR stated they would respond swiftly if provoked by India, citing previous missile and drone attacks by India.

Ahmed Sharif, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), accused India of fueling regional tensions through "sponsored terrorism" and deceptive propaganda. He pointed to the Pahalgam incident, where Indian media blamed Pakistan immediately, only for India's Foreign Ministry to admit days later that investigations were ongoing. Sharif questioned India's accusations without evidence, saying "Where is the wisdom in leveling accusations without evidence?" Pakistan offered to share proof with a neutral body, but India rejected and launched unilateral strikes targeting mosques and civilians. The DG ISPR stated that India remains the "real patron of terrorism in Pakistan" through supporting militant groups.

The operation was based on an 'imminent armed attack' from Pakistan, which never occurred. In contrast, Pakistan's measured response, Operation Banyanun Marsoos, targeting multiple Indian strategic and military sites, held both legal and moral justification under the UN Charter as self-defence.
