When India launched missile strikes into Pakistan, AP responded with speed and coordination, delivering exclusive and unmatched coverage across formats.

The team quickly set up a live shot from Muzaffarabad showing the destruction. Two additional live shots followed from Muridke and Bahawalpur—locations of high strategic interest—and no other outlet matched the immediacy or depth of the visual reporting.

Working through the night, AP teams produced powerful photography, clear and concise graphics, a live blog, and authoritative explainers that met global demand for verified information about the unprecedented strikes and the rising tensions between the nuclear-armed nations.

AP’s reporting on the nuclear capabilities of both countries was widely used by outlets around the world, underscoring the organization’s role as a trusted source during a high-stakes international crisis.
