The “Forgotten 54” are Indian soldiers believed to be held in Pakistani custody since the 1971 war, yet never returned. Decades later, their fate remains unknown. Despite the efforts, their families still await answers.

India fired missiles into Pakistani-controlled territory in several locations early Wednesday, killing at least 19 people including a child, in what Pakistan’s leader called an act of war. India said it struck infrastructure used by militants linked to last month’s massacre of tourists in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.
