Operation Sindoor: World Backs Indian Strikes On Pak Terror Launchpads | UN And China Warn Of War

Officials claim the targets were strictly non-military, aiming at Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba bases. The United States, United Nations, and China have all responded, urging restraint. While Israel backed India's right to self-defence, Pakistan has retaliated with deadly artillery fire.
