The strikes were in response to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which killed 26 persons on April 22. The Pakistan Army had retaliated by repeatedly shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. On May 10, India and Pakistan reached an 'understanding' to halt firing following the four-day conflict. Twenty-one civilians, including four children, lost their lives in Jammu and Kashmir in the conflict. Five members of Indian armed forces were also killed in action.
