On the night of May 10, 2025, the Government of Pakistan announced the beginning of a large-scale military operation in response to India's provocations. This happened after statements about India's attacks on Pakistani military airbases.
Prior to that, the Pakistani military command made a high-profile statement: according to them, India launched six ballistic missiles, which eventually fell on the territory of India itself.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan convened a meeting of the National Command Authority after the start of the military operation against India. Tension between the two nuclear powers has risen sharply.
