Pakistan-India Conflict 2025: News Updates and Discussion

Pak. of no value to the west, sadly. IMO. I still remember in 2006, when Bush offered reactors to India, Bush, rubbed Pak's nose badly. Musharraf was dumb founded

That was during WOT and US suspected duplicity. Those days have long gone. There has have been a lot of trust building since then.

This guys spoke the most bitter truth to Indians!!!
Major Gaurav Arya, the 'Lafenga' spoke against Iran. Hahahaha!!!
 
We don't need new jets for God sake.. we need better air defence and an offensive capability on par with Brahmos.
I think that pilot-less drones are the way to go. Swarms of drones for offence and some method of defence against drones also, whether jamming or flak or a.i. controlled lasers or some new technology.

For A2A combat, the era of the dogfight is over. Missiles will be fired from "floating silos" that don't need to visually engage the enemy. With the speed of modern missiles, why would we want more slow-moving airborne targets (manned aircraft) for the hypersonic enemy missiles? Temporarily sure, but the long term plan needs to be obsolescence of manned aircraft and introduction of fully automated warfare.

IAEA refutes Indian media reports of radiation leak in Pakistan​

IAEA says no radiation leak or incident detected at any nuclear site in Pakistan, dismissing all speculation.

As Pakistan and India trade accusations over nuclear weapons mismanagement, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed to BBC Urdu on Thursday that “no radiation leakage or incident has been detected at any nuclear site in Pakistan.”

The issue came up after unverified reports emerged in Indian media, alleging that Indian airstrikes targeted Pakistan’s Kerana Hills, where a stockpile of nuclear missiles is reportedly located.

Amid the media speculation, the IAEA confirmed to the British broadcaster that “based on available data, no radiation leakage or incident has been detected at any nuclear site in Pakistan.” The Indian Air Force also denied striking any nuclear facility.

Earlier, Indian Air Marshal AK Bharti was asked at a press briefing whether reports of a strike on the Kirana Hills nuclear site were accurate. “Thank you for informing us that there is a nuclear facility there—we didn’t know,” he said sarcastically, adding, “we did not target Kirana Hills, regardless of what is or isn’t there.”

India and Pakistan traded accusations of nuclear weapons mismanagement on Thursday, days after reaching a ceasefire agreement following days of escalation.

India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that the IAEA should take control of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons—just days after the two nuclear-armed neighbours concluded one of their worst military escalations in nearly three decades.

“Are nuclear weapons safe in the hands of such an irresponsible and rogue nation?” Singh asked while addressing soldiers in Srinagar, the capital of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). “I believe that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons should be taken under the supervision of the IAEA.”

Pakistan responded firmly, calling the remarks “provocative” and aimed at undermining the credibility of its nuclear deterrent. The Foreign Office strongly condemned the Indian Defence Minister’s comments, labelling them “irresponsible” and reflective of India’s “frustration and insecurity.”

“These remarks are not only misleading but also reflect a lack of understanding of the IAEA’s mandate,” said the FO spokesperson, adding that Pakistan does not rely on nuclear blackmail to maintain deterrence—unlike India.
 
Trump is a sly man, he needs few tricks up his sleeves to blackmail Modi, hence Pak. has been pulled in for the time being. Once tariff and other trade deals are over, Trump will throw away Pak.

Pak. of no value to the west, sadly. IMO. I still remember in 2006, when Bush offered reactors to India, Bush, rubbed Pak's nose badly. Musharraf was dumb founded

And what happened after nuclear deal? India didn't buy any USA nuclear plant. Just like India will not buy F-35 etc

If you want to get in good books of Americans then buy their weapons, their airplanes. And now they have exposed themselves as weak power that cannot even deal with Pakistan let alone China.

Security sources has shared details regarding major cyber counter-offensive by Pakistan, under Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, launched in response to Indian aggression, targeting key infrastructure sectors across India.

The cyber wing of Pakistan’s armed forces was “actively involved” in the operation, inflicted significant disruptions across multiple Indian domains, including power infrastructure and petroleum systems, they added.

Sources revealed that the Pakistani cyber team caused severe damage to Indian communications, disabling official government emails and the OTP infrastructure, adding that national communications suffered heavy disruption.

Sources stated that India’s surveillance systems were also compromised. Hackers destroyed communication hardware and defaced numerous Indian websites, they said.

Servers at Indian airports were taken down, impacting the Indian Air Force’s communications and interrupting railway systems across several regions, security sources revealed.

Sources further said the Pakistani team gained access to India's national, eastern, northern, and western load dispatch centres, temporarily disabling systems, adding that the breach cut electricity to approximately 80% of Indian consumers for a limited period.

According to internal reports, over 4,600 power feeders in Maharashtra, 3,600 in Uttar Pradesh, and more than 600 in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) were hacked and disconnected.

In Indian Punjab, two AI-powered servers at the load dispatch centre were disabled. Meanwhile, in Karnataka, more than 235 solar and wind grid stations were hacked and rendered inoperative, they added.

Sources also confirmed that databases of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL) and Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGPL) were targeted, adding that over 4,400 government and public-sector communication routers were also brought down.

They added that a large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack was launched on major Indian government, military, air force, stock exchange, and public-sector servers, which paralysed internal communications and email/OTP workflows.

“More than 3,500 CCTV cameras installed in government buildings, hospitals, highways, and public zones were also reportedly hacked,” sources said. In IIOJK, over 250 key ISP routers were compromised, resulting in localised internet outages, they added.

The operation accessed and extracted data from over 90 government and corporate sector websites, including those belonging to the Indian Air Force, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., Border Security Force, Unique Identification Authority of India, and Indian Railways.

Airport servers in Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata were among those hacked, sources shared. The Indian Air Force’s communication systems across its northern, southern, and western commands were also disrupted while Indian Railways experienced operational delays due to compromised servers, they added.

Pakistan Armed Forces conducted Operation Bunyanum Marsoos on May 10 as part of the military conflict 'Marka-e-Haq' in response to Indian military’s dastardly attacks that began on the night of May 6 and 7, resulting in the loss of innocent civilian lives, including women, children, and the elderly.

On May 10, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos and deployed its Al-Fatah missile and targeted multiple Indian military installations. However, after the intervention of US President Donald Trump, a full and immediate ceasefire was reached between India and Pakistan.

PAF also shot down 5 indian jets in response to unprovoked aggression and airspace violations. According to the military spokesperson, the aircraft shot down included three Rafale jets, one MiG-29, one SU-series aircraft, and an Israeli-made Heron combat drone. The jets were downed in multiple locations, including Bhatinda, Jammu, Akhnoor, Srinagar, and Avantipur.

A full and immediate ceasefire between India and Pakistan was announced on May 10, following days of heightened military exchanges that brought the two nuclear-armed neighbours to the brink of war.

The announcement was first made by US President Donald Trump and later confirmed by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Tensions escalated between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack in IIOJK. India blamed Pakistan without presenting any evidence, while Islamabad rejected the allegations. In response, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty — a move Pakistan has called an “act of war.”

Following diplomatic intervention led by Washington, both sides agreed to halt military activity across land, air, and sea. However, hours after the truce, fresh skirmishes were reported on both sides of the Line of Control.
