The Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor early on Wednesday, targeting nine locations linked to terror networks in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The strikes came just days after a brutal attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, where 26 civilians were killed by terrorists.
According to the Ministry of Defence, these precision strikes were “focused, measured and non-escalatory.” The statement also clarified that no Pakistani military sites were hit, showing India's restraint in its choice of targets.
