Operation Sindoor sheds light on the human cost of conflict with India, with 11 Pakistani soldiers killed and 78 injured in four days.

Pakistan's military has revealed that 11 soldiers were killed and 78 injured during a recent four-day escalation with India in Kashmir, dubbed Operation Sindoor.

The operation began on Tuesday, February 25, when India began bombing missions in Kashmir to attack Pakistani terrorist camps, in retaliation for a suicide bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed at least 40 Indian paramilitary troops on February 14.

Pakistan's army and air force personnel were wounded in clashes with Indian forces along the highly militarized Line of Control dividing Kashmir, according to Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

The admission of casualties is a rare move for the Pakistani military, which is notoriously secretive about detailing its losses in battle. The revelation may signal a shift in strategy for the military, which has long been criticized for not doing enough to protect civilians in conflict zones or provide support for those injured in action.

The operation comes to an end with both countries back to their pre-bombardment status quo. However, it remains to be seen how the latest round of violence will impact the region, and whether the civilian populations in both India and Pakistan will finally demand an end to their leaders' militaristic approach to solving the Kashmir conflict.
