Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally kept a close watch on Operation Sindoor all night long as Indian troops carried out a series of coordinated and successful raids on terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK). Nine terrorist sites were struck with precision, mainly targeting top commanders of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) — both perpetrators of several terror attacks on Indian territory.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the operation commenced early Wednesday and was carried out with utmost caution to prevent escalation. The official statement emphasized that no Pakistani military facilities were targeted; the strikes were carefully calibrated to avoid provoking a broader conflict.
Sources says that India, as part of Operation Sindoor, used Rafale jets to hit Pakistani terror camps with scalp missiles and hammer bombs. This action, taken few days after PM Modi gave a free hand to Indian Armed Forces.
The attack was in retaliatory response to the recent Pahalgam terrorist strike, in which 25 Indian citizens and a Nepali national lost their lives. New Delhi has committed to prosecuting the attackers and dismantling the network abetting cross-border terror.
Military officials disclosed that the operation included precision-guided weapons launched by the Army, Navy, and Air Force, including loitering munitions. Indian intelligence agencies gave the exact coordinates, and all the strikes were launched from Indian soil, bolstering India’s defensive position.
After the operation, Pakistan also breached the ceasefire by opening artillery in the Bhimber Gali area of Jammu and Kashmir. Indian forces have been responding with measured and controlled retaliation since then. The incident was confirmed by the Public Information Office of the Indian Army in a tweet on X (formerly Twitter) and ensured that the necessary action is being taken.
Operation Sindoor is a landmark change in India’s counter-terrorism approach — a quick, targeted, and unyielding one in response to ongoing threats.
