India Avenge Pahalgam Terror Attack

In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 which resulted in the deaths of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, the Indian Army launched a decisive strike on Pakistani terror camps in the wee hours of Wednesday. While the Indian Indian Air Force (IAF) has confirmed that there has been no loss to man or machine on the Indian side, they also revealed that there was a total of nine strikes in Pakistan and PoK. The Indian government emphasized that the strikes were "focused, measured, and non-escalatory," deliberately avoiding Pakistani military installations.

The Ministry of Defence in an official statement said, “A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.”

KKR vs CSK

Meanwhile, the Knight Riders have a very important game coming up at the Eden Gardens. When they take on Chennai Super Kings, it would be a must-win game for them. The Knights are coming off a win against Delhi and would be high on confidence. Chennai, who are already knocked out of the playoff race, would look to sign off on a high. That makes the encounter very interesting.
