Pakistan-India conflict: What happened on May 7
Amber Rahim Shamsi explains why May 7 may be more dangerous than Balakot, and what it means for Pakistan
Missiles fired, fighter jets downed, and civilian lives lost, May 7 marked a dramatic escalation in tensions between India and Pakistan. Yet, in the face of aggression, Pakistan responded with notable restraint. In this special episode, we unpack the high-stakes developments that have once again brought the two nuclear-armed neighbors to the brink.
In this episode, we break down India’s deployment of beyond-visual-range (BVR) missiles, the details of the intense air skirmish, and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar’s statement that added a new layer to the diplomatic fallout. With parallels drawn to the 2019 Balakot strikes, many believe this moment has even greater regional stability consequences.
