This tweet suggests missiles were fired and intercepted above Karachi. Can't find any sources to verify but it's possible this has already happened.

bought Ṁ20 NO

@SaviorofPlant that tweet is no longer there

@SaviorofPlant also, I live in karachi and afaik they were drones not missiles

bought Ṁ20 YES

@SaviorofPlant didn’t this already happen?

Appears so:

https://www.mea.gov.in/media-briefings.htm?dtl/39486/Transcript_of_Special_briefing_on_OPERATION_SINDOOR_May_10_2025

"However, limited damage was sustained to equipment and personnel at Indian Air Force stations at Udhampur, Pathankot, Adampur and Bhuj. There were also several high-speed missile attacks noticed subsequently after 0140 hours in the night at several air bases in Punjab."

Pakistan also claims to have hit the bases, resolving YES

@SaviorofPlant Why resolved YES? So far Pakistan says ~50 casualties within Pakistan, India says ~15 within India.

@galaga casualties include wounded, not just killed - wikipedia has showed both india and pakistan claiming 70+ each on their side for days

@SaviorofPlant could you share the specific sources if it's not too inconvenient?

@TheAllMemeingEye

from India: https://www.fortuneindia.com/business-news/india-remains-open-to-non-escalation-if-pakistan-assures-the-same-foreign-secy-vikram-misry-on-day-2-of-operation-sindoor/122896

"According to official statements, 16 civilians have been killed—among them five children and three women—and 59 others injured due to retaliatory fire impacting civilian areas."

from Pakistan: https://www.reuters.com/world/india-strikes-pakistan-with-missiles-pakistan-says-it-will-retaliate-2025-05-06/

"Pakistan's army says the death toll from India's strikes has risen to 31

An army spokesman said a further 46 people were injured."

These are both just articles quoting government statements, but those statements can probably be tracked down with a bit of effort

@SaviorofPlant N/Aed as I am finding sources indicating Pakistan began retaliations around midnight IST, and this answer was added 3 hours later

@crowlsyong wasn't this already happening before this market was created? inclined to N/A if that's the case

@SaviorofPlant I think that India suspended a treaty, but has not prevented Pakistan from getting water by way of rerouting/filling reservoirs.

If you find information to the contrary, feel free to resolve N/A.

bought Ṁ840 YES

@crowlsyong Does this count?

"Following the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 on 23 April 2025, local media in Muzaffarabad, Pakistan, reported on 26 and 27 April that India had released water from the Uri Dam into the Jhelum River unannounced, resulting in flooding.[96][97] Additional reports indicated a sharp decline in water levels of the Chenab River in Sialkot, Pakistan, with satellite imagery showing significant drying of the riverbed."

@SaviorofPlant Multiple Indian sources reported strikes by Pakistan: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/12-dead-in-pakistan-shelling-across-loc-jammu-and-kashmirs-poonch-worst-hit/articleshow/120965432.cms Pakistani sources claim those were against military installations: https://tribune.com.pk/live-blog/43

This should resolve the general retaliation question while the more restrictive question about missile strikes probably needs more supporting information.

bought Ṁ8 YES

@SaviorofPlant Resolves YES. Strikes reported in Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Shakargarh https://www.nytimes.com/article/india-pakistan-kashmir-terrorism.html

bought Ṁ40 YES

@SaviorofPlant According to Wikipedia we are already over this number, but will wait to resolve as there is a lot of misinformation going around

@SaviorofPlant was it deliberate that this says airstrikes and the Pakistan option says missile strikes?

sold Ṁ49 NO

@JoshuaWilkes Yes. I believe the Indian attack involved both, for what it's worth.

@SaviorofPlant okay (I would have waited a little but am confident this will resolve if it's shown there were no airstrikes)

bought Ṁ5 NO

What's the minimum requirement for armed conflict? Does airstrikes count?
