This response followed India's "Operation Sindoor," airstrikes on Pakistani terror camps, and a subsequent Pakistani retaliatory attempt. India also neutralized a Pakistani air defense system in Lahore.

Sixteen innocent lives have been lost, including three women and five children, due to Pakistani firing so far. Here too, India was compelled to respond to bring Mortar and Artillery fire from Pakistan to a halt.

China's statement is seen as an embarrassment for Pakistan, as it had claimed that Chinese fighter jets were used to respond to military strikes by India.
