Operation Sindoor
In a significant military operation codenamed 'Operation Sindoor,' the Indian armed forces conducted precision missile strikes on nine terrorist targets across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) early Wednesday. The strikes targeted key terrorist installations, including Jaish-e-Mohammad's stronghold in Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke.
The military action came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives. Prime Minister Modi had earlier granted the armed forces "complete operational freedom" to respond to the attack during a high-level meeting with top defense officials on April 29.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian Navy swiftly deployed its carrier battle group to the Arabian Sea, adopting a combat-ready posture under Operation Sindoor. This deployment aimed to deter further aggression, with the capability to strike key targets, including Karachi. Despite Pakistan's subsequent ceasefire proposal, a breach occurred shortly after, highlighting the volatile situation.
Following the Pahalgam attack, India launched 'Operation Sindoor,' eliminating over 100 terrorists in precision strikes on nine terror launchpads across the border. The operation targeted key figures and high-profile sites linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Indian armed forces took great care to avoid collateral damage, while Pakistan's retaliatory actions resulted in civilian casualties and damage to religious sites.
