In a bold and strategic move, India has launched airstrikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting multiple terror hideouts in Pakistan. This comes as a direct response to the deadly Pahalgam attack, aiming to prevent any further cross-border terrorism. The Indian Army's precision strikes reportedly eliminated key targets, including relatives of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar. PM Modi has briefed President Droupadi Murmu, and tensions between India and Pakistan continue to rise.

Operation Sindoor | Indian Army shares proof, target, significance of precision strike on Pak terror: WATCH

In the press briefing on Monday (May 7) on Operation Sindoor, India's foreign secretary, Vikram Misri revealed that India has given inputs about 'The Resistance Front' (TRF) -&nbsp; the terror offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) - to the United Nations (UN).
"A group calling itself &ldquo;The Resistance Front&rdquo; has claimed responsibility for the attack. This group is a front for the UN-proscribed Pakistani terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Taiba. It is notable that India had given inputs about the TRF in the half-yearly report to the monitoring team of the UN's 1267 Sanctions Committee in May and November 2024, bringing out its role as a cover for Pakistan-based terrorist groups," Misri said.
Misri further informed that in December 2023, India had informed the monitoring team about Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammad operating through small terror groups such as the TRF. He said that Pakistan exposed itself when it attempted to remove references to TRF from the UNSC press statement.&nbsp;
"Pakistan's pressure to remove references to TRF in the April 25 UN Security Council Press Statement is notable in this regard."
"Investigations into the Pahalgam terror attack have brought out the communication notes of terrorists in and to Pakistan. The claims made by the Resistance Front and their reposting by known social media handles of the Lashkar-e-Taiba speak for themselves. Identification of the attackers based on eyewitness accounts, as well as other information available to law enforcement agencies, has also progressed. Our intelligence has developed an accurate picture of the planners and backers of this team.The features of this attack also tie in with Pakistan's long track record of perpetrating cross-border terror in India, which is well documented, and beyond question," Misri stated in his statement after Operation Sindoor.

Operation Sindoor: India targets terror camps in Pakistan with precision strikes

India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri revealed the objective of the Pahalgam terror attack in the press briefing held on Wednesday (May 7) and said that it was done to undermine the normalcy returning to Jammu and Kashmir. He added that it was done to impact economy and tourism in teh Kashmir valley, stating that a record 23 million tourists visited J&amp;K in 2024.
"The attack was clearly driven by the objective of undermining the normalcy returning to Jammu and Kashmir. In particular, it was designed to impact the mainstay of the economy, tourism, with a record 23 million tourists visiting the valley last year. The calculation, presumably, was that harming growth and development in the Union Territory would help keep it backwards and create fertile ground for continued cross-border terrorism from Pakistan. The manner of the attack was also driven by the objective of provoking communal discord, both in Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the Nation. It is to the credit of the government and the people of India that these designs were foiled," Misri said in the briefing.

Operation Sindoor | 'Pahalgam attack was to undermine normalcy in J&K, provoke communal discord': Terrorists' motives REVEALED

<div class="x_elementToProof" data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">
As geopolitical tensions escalated following India&rsquo;s launch of Operation Sindoor, financial markets across the subcontinent responded sharply but asymmetrically. While Indian markets closed on a flat-to-positive note after a volatile trading day, Pakistan&rsquo;s KSE-100 index crashed, reflecting growing investor panic and macroeconomic fragility.

<h2 class="x_elementToProof">Indian markets volatile but end positive</h2>
<div class="x_elementToProof">
The Indian stock market ended Wednesday&rsquo;s session on a muted but steady note, with the Sensex closing near the 80,800 mark and the Nifty finishing just above 24,200.

The Sensex closed in the green, up over 100 points after a volatile session during which the index see-sawed between gains and losses. Meanwhile, the Nifty closed marginally higher after gyrating wildly, reflecting caution amid geopolitical uncertainty but also confidence in India&rsquo;s economic fundamentals.
Early in the session, benchmark indices opened with losses &mdash; the BSE Sensex at 79,948.80, down 0.86 per cent, and Nifty 50 down 0.6 per cent to 24,233.30. However, strong intraday recoveries were led by gains in defence and aerospace stocks such as Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Dynamics, BEL, Mazagon Dock, and Paras Defence, which rose between 1.3 per cent and 4 per cent amid expectations of increased government spending on strategic sectors.
While auto, FMCG, IT, and pharma sectors posted gains, metal, realty, and energy indices lagged. The Indian rupee remained stable, and bond yields showed little change &mdash; suggesting that institutional investors perceive the strikes as tactical and unlikely to trigger prolonged conflict.

Pakistani stocks endured a rough day as investors panicked over potential military escalation, international isolation, and further economic deterioration. The KSE-100 index closed at 1,10,009.03, down 3,560 points, making it one of the steepest one-day falls in recent memory &mdash; despite the index trading well above the 1,00,000-point mark in recent months.
Losses were widespread across banking, telecom, cement, and energy sectors, all of which are sensitive to external shocks.

Business & Economy: The financial markets in India showed resilience amidst geopolitical tensions, with investors cautiously optimistic about the long-term economic outlook.

As geopolitical tensions escalated following India’s launch of Operation Sindoor, financial markets across the subcontinent responded sharply but asymmetrically.

Operation Sindoor: Pakistan Stocks Crash, Indian Markets Stay Volatile

Briefing the country on Operation Sindoor, women officers Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri have said that the Pahalgam terror attack is the biggest attack on Indian civilians after the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. They said that the main reason for the attack was to hamper the tourism and development of Jammu and Kashmir. They also said that the attack was done to provoke religious riots in the country.
Naming 'The Resistance Front' (TRF), Misri said that Lashkar-E-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) used the group for terror activities in India. He also said that Pakistan has a history of shielding terror groups and terror outfits. He said that the Pakistani government has not taken any step in handling the terror groups but has resorted to blame game.
"Pakistan has emerged as safe haven for terrorists in the world. Banned international terrorists find it safe from being punished in this country. Pakistan is also known for deliberately misleading the world and international platforms...Despite a fortnight having passed, there has been no demonstrable step from Pakistan against terrorists' infrastructure in its area," Misri said.
Further, Misri highlighted that India exercised its right to respond under Operation Sindoor.
"Our intelligence indicated that further attacks against India are impending. Thus, compulsion, both to deter and prevent and hence earlier this morning, India exercised its right to respond to deter such more cross-border terrorism... Our actions were measured and non-escalatory, proportionate and responsible. They focused on dismantling terrorists' infrastructure," Misri added.

Operation Sindoor briefing: 'India's response proportionate, non-escalatory and responsible,' says Foreign Secretary

India woke up to the news of the launch of Operation Sindoor, where the Indian Armed Forces conducted a series pf high-precision strikes, targeting nine terror camps and launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The action was a direct response to the recent deadly assault in Jammu and Kashmir&rsquo;s Pahalgam, where 26 civilians were gunned down by terrorists. Amid heightened tensions between the two countries, India will be conducting a major nation-wide emergency mock drill - Operation Abhyaas- to enhance the emergency preparedness of civilians. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

<h2 class="MsoNormal">What to expect from Operation Abhyaas<o:p></o:p></h2>
The exercise will commence with the sounding of an air raid siren, signifying a simulated attack. These sirens will be strategically placed at police stations, high-rise structures, hospitals, and educational institutions. Upon hearing the alert, citizens will be guided to designated safe zones, such as bunkers, basements, or structurally reinforced buildings.<o:p></o:p>
Mock drills will take place across the country from 4 PM onwards on May 7. The drill will involve operationalizing air-raid warning sirens, cleaning and restoring bunkers, and training civilians on protective measures against hostile attacks.<o:p></o:p>

Residents will be familiarized with siren sounds, will be trained to locate shelters, and prepare emergency kits.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
Training sessions will educate on first-aid and safe spaces. Blackout measures include window coverings and switching off outdoor lights. Evacuation plans involve identifying routes and preparing 'go-bags' which will contain ID cards, important documents, emergency contact numbers, food, water bottle and some cash.<o:p></o:p>
Additionally, participants will practise administering first aid to simulated casualties and learn to remain composed under stress. A simulated blackout will be implemented by turning off city and building lights to mitigate risks from enemy surveillance or nocturnal aerial threats. Residents will be instructed to extinguish lights in their homes, shops, and offices as part of the precautionary measures.<o:p></o:p>

Participants will include key officials such as District Collectors, alongside Civil Defence Volunteers, Home Guards, members of the National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Service Scheme (NSS), and Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS), along with college and school students. The drill aims to train individuals on effective protective measures during crises while also assessing the efficiency of attack warnings and the operations of control rooms.<o:p></o:p>
Teachers will oversee the evacuation of students to protected areas within schools. Government officials, including collectors and civil defence officers, will jointly assess the effectiveness of the drill.

India woke up to the news of the launch of Operation Sindoor, where the Indian Armed Forces conducted a series pf high-precision strikes, targeting nine terror camps and launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The action was a direct response to the recent deadly assault in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, where 26 civilians were gunned down by terrorists. Amid heightened tensions between the two countries, India will be conducting a major nation-wide emergency mock drill - Operation Abhyaas- to enhance the emergency preparedness of civilians. Operation Sindoor LIVE News Updates: 'Bharat remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots,' says Union Home Minister Amit Shah What to expect from Operation Abhyaas The exercise will commence with the sounding of an air raid siren, signifying a simulated attack. These sirens will be strategically placed at police stations, high-rise structures, hospitals, and educational institutions. Upon hearing the alert, citizens will be guided to designated safe zones, such as bunkers, basements, or structurally reinforced buildings. Mock drills will take place across the country from 4 PM onwards on May 7. The drill will involve operationalizing air-raid warning sirens, cleaning and restoring bunkers, and training civilians on protective measures against hostile attacks. Operation Sindoor: Opposition unites, calls for 'national solidarity' as Home Minister Shah hails Armed Forces | All India reactions LIVE here Residents will be familiarized with siren sounds, will be trained to locate shelters, and prepare emergency kits. Training sessions will educate on first-aid and safe spaces. Blackout measures include window coverings and switching off outdoor lights. Evacuation plans involve identifying routes and preparing 'go-bags' which will contain ID cards, important documents, emergency contact numbers, food, water bottle and some cash. Additionally, participants will practise administering first aid to simulated casualties and learn to remain composed under stress. A simulated blackout will be implemented by turning off city and building lights to mitigate risks from enemy surveillance or nocturnal aerial threats. Residents will be instructed to extinguish lights in their homes, shops, and offices as part of the precautionary measures. Operation Sindoor: Pak army resorts to arbitrary firing, says reports Who all will be participating Participants will include key officials such as District Collectors, alongside Civil Defence Volunteers, Home Guards, members of the National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Service Scheme (NSS), and Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS), along with college and school students. The drill aims to train individuals on effective protective measures during crises while also assessing the efficiency of attack warnings and the operations of control rooms. Teachers will oversee the evacuation of students to protected areas within schools. Government officials, including collectors and civil defence officers, will jointly assess the effectiveness of the drill. If the siren fails to function properly or evacuation procedures are delayed, corrective measures will be devised to enhance response strategies.
