India and Pakistan engaged in the most intense fighting in decades with four days of escalating conflict that included fighter jets, missiles and drones packed with explosives. It ended almost as abruptly as it began.

India’s missile and bomb strikes on targets in Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir have prompted multiple attacks in retaliation between the nuclear-armed neighbors to the point that some are now calling it a de facto war.

Between May 8 and 9, Pakistan launched approximately 300 to 400 drones across 36 intrusion points from Leh to Sir Creek. All were neutralised by India's air defence.
