⚠ DISPUTEDfactrepo verdict
The claim that Pakistan launched strikes on Indian military positions on 6 May 2025 in retaliation for Operation Sindoor is not directly supported by the provided sources. Sources confirm an India-Pakistan clash in May 2025, but they describe India as the initiator of strikes on Pakistan, with Pakistan responding. The specific date and the term 'Operation Sindoor' are not mentioned. The claim appears to reverse the sequence of events as reported.
In early May 2025, India and Pakistan engaged in a four-day military clash, the most intense in 50 years, triggered by a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir. India launched missile strikes into Pakistani territory, killing civilians, while Pakistan claimed to have shot down Indian warplanes. The claim that Pakistan initiated strikes on 6 May is contradicted by reports indicating India struck first.
