In a decisive military operation, India has reportedly neutralized four key Pakistani airbases, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations. The strikes are part of India's broader strategy to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and assert its security interests in the region.
The targeted airbases include Nur Khan Airbase, Murid Airbase, Shorkot Airbase, and Bahawalpur Military Complex. These facilities were identified as hubs for terrorist activities and military operations. The operations were focused on neutralizing terrorist infrastructure. 
In response to the strikes, Pakistan initiated Operation "Bunyan-un-Marsoos," launching missile strikes at Indian military sites, including the BrahMos missile storage in Beas and the Udhampur Air Field in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan claims to have downed several Indian drones and inflicted damage on Indian infrastructure.
The conflict has resulted in at least 48 reported deaths, with both sides accusing each other of civilian casualties. Pakistan claims that most of the missiles fired at its airbases were intercepted, while India reports that Pakistani artillery fire killed 15 civilians in India. <video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">

Global leaders, including those from the U.S., U.K., Saudi Arabia, and the G7, have urged both nations to exercise restraint and seek diplomatic solutions. The United Nations has expressed concern over the escalation and called for immediate de-escalation.
Both India and Pakistan have heightened their military readiness, with reports of increased cross-border shelling and air defense activities. Pakistan has closed its airspace and convened a high-level security meeting, while India has issued red alerts in Punjab and other border areas.
The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected as both nations continue to engage in military actions.
