Watch: Interview: ‘Op Sindoor won't stop terror; conflict with India existential for Pak Army’

On Saturday, both nations reached an agreement to cease hostilities after four days of conflict. The tensions began escalating on May 7 when the Indian military executed strikes, known as Operation Sindoor, targeting what they claimed were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

These military actions were a response to a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in 26 fatalities on April 22. In retaliation, the Pakistan Army engaged in shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control, leading to the deaths of at least 22 Indian civilians and seven military personnel.
