India has carried out airstrikes at nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian government said it had launched “Operation Sindoor”, which they claimed had not targeted Pakistani military facilities.

India launched a military operation in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered territories in Kashmir on Tuesday. India's Ministry of Defense said it was targeting "terrorist infrastructure" in response to an attack last month.

Higher likelihood of miscalculations. India and Pakistan both possess nuclear weapons and are not engaged in any kind of security dialogue. Without bilateral crisis management mechanisms, both sides will find the current crisis unpredictable. The possibility of escalation is real.
