Pakistan admits Indian missiles struck its airbases in retaliation for a terror attack.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has admitted that Indian missiles hit the Nur Khan Airbase and other sites in a May 10 operation, marking a rare acknowledgment of Indian military action. This admission comes after India launched "Operation Sindoor" on May 7 in response to a terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people. The operation targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, resulting in over 100 terrorists' deaths. Foreign affairs expert Robinder Sachdev emphasized India's evolving retaliatory doctrine, which includes a "tit-for-tat, plus" policy, and the importance of sending a unified political delegation abroad to counter Pakistan's global narrative.
