New Delhi: In the aftermath of a devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India launched a significant cross-border military operation codenamed “Operation Sindoor.” This operation, confirmed by Home Minister Amit Shah, represented a direct and decisive response to the violence. The operation involved the coordinated efforts of the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, demonstrating a unified and powerful military response.
Sources confirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi closely monitored the operation throughout its duration, highlighting the government’s high-level commitment to dealing with the situation. The operations’ targets were meticulously selected, focusing on nine key sites within Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). These sites were identified as training camps and operational headquarters belonging to various terrorist organisations, including Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), groups with a history of carrying out attacks against India.
Specific targets included Markaz Subhan Allah, a major JeM facility; Markaz Taiba, a LeT training centre; and several other locations suspected of facilitating terrorist infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir. The strategic targeting suggests an intelligence-led operation aimed at disrupting the operational capabilities of these groups. The details released by Indian defence sources provide a picture of a well-planned and executed operation, focusing on high-value targets to minimise civilian casualties and maximise operational effectiveness.
The swift and decisive response underscores the Indian governments commitment to combating terrorism and protecting its citizens. The operations success serves as a significant statement of Indias determination to retaliate against cross-border terrorism and prevent future attacks. Further details regarding the operation are expected following official briefings from the Ministry of Defence.
