-
Military bases in Pakistan were not targeted.

What This Means
This is one of the most serious clashes between India and Pakistan in recent years. Both countries have nuclear weapons, so the world is watching closely. So far:
-
India has closed its borders and stopped diplomatic talks.
-
Pakistan has cut off trade and closed its airspace.
-
People around the world are worried about more violence.
Operation Sindoor is a big moment in India’s fight against terrorism. It shows that India is now more willing to use military force to protect its people. But it also raises fears about a bigger conflict between two powerful neighbors. For now, the world hopes both sides will choose peace over war.
