India Launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ In Response To Pahalgam Terror Attack?
As per defence sources, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ on Wednesday early morning, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.
According to India’s Defence Ministry, in the precise and restrained response to the barbaric Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, including one Nepali citizen, focused strikes were carried out on nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning. “Importantly, no Pakistani military facilities were hit, reflecting India’s calibrated and non-escalatory approach. This operation underscores India’s resolve to hold perpetrators accountable while avoiding unnecessary provocation. A detailed briefing on the operation will follow later today,” a ministry statement said.
