Operation Sindoor
The Indian military in the early hours of Wednesday (May 7) carried out cross-border strikes code-named Operation Sindoor, in which nine specific sites linked to terrorism were targeted.
In an official statement, the Minister of Defence said, "A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed."
No Pakistani military facilities were struck, the Defence Ministry said, adding that India has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and methods of execution.
In a social media post, the Indian Army wrote: "Justice is served. Jai Hind!". In an earlier post, they shared a Sanskrit phrase: "prhaaraay snnihitaaH, jyaay prshikssitaaH"—which roughly translates to "ready to strike, trained to win."
