India-Pakistan Ceasefire LIVE Updates: Rajnath Singh reaches Srinagar, interacts with Operation Sindoor heroes

A brutal terror attack in Pahalgam claimed the lives of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepalese man on April 22, 2025. The terrorists reportedly singled out the victims by asking their religion before opening fire. The Resistance Front (TRF), a shadow outfit of the banned Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack.

In response, Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the killing of tourists in Pahalgam, vowing the harshest punishment for those behind the attack. Later, India launched a targeted counter-offensive named Operation Sindoor, striking nine terror hubs located in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and Pakistan. The operation reportedly resulted in the deaths of over 100 terrorists.

In the aftermath of the operation, Pakistan begged for a ceasefire between the two countries.
