Security is heightened in Kashmir along the Line of Control between India and Pakistan as India observes the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor. On May 7, 2025, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, targeting sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The military operations were in response to an April 22, 2025, incident in Pahalgam, south Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 tourists. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a message on the X platform, commended the Armed Forces for their actions and encouraged citizens to honor the forces by updating social media display pictures.
