A 7-year-old boy named Irtiza Abbas Turi, the son of a lieutenant colonel in the Pakistan Army, was among the 26 civilians killed in a series of Indian airstrikes that struck civilian areas in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and parts of Punjab. The airstrikes, which left another 46 individuals injured, targeted the regions of Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Muridke, and Ahmedpur Sharqia. In a swift and forceful response, the Pakistan military reportedly shot down five Indian fighter jets along with a drone.

Pakistan's National Security Committee (NSC) condemned the Indian airstrikes, describing them as "unprovoked, cowardly, and unlawful acts of war." The NSC also authorised retaliatory measures, expressing strong disapproval over India’s targeting of civilian zones and critical infrastructure, including the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project. Additionally, the NSC criticised India for endangering commercial air traffic during the operation.

These developments unfolded during a period of escalating tensions between the two countries, which intensified after a deadly attack in India’s Pahalgam region. India blamed Pakistan for the incident without presenting any concrete evidence—a claim that Islamabad has firmly rejected.
