Operation Sindoor: India Strikes Terror Camps in Landmark Military Action

In a sweeping military maneuver, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on Wednesday. This significant action came as a direct response to the harrowing Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, including a Nepali national, on April 22.

Coinciding with nationwide mock drills to test emergency response capabilities across Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, the operation underscores the nation's resolve against terrorism. According to Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, nine terror sites were destroyed, with precise targeting to avoid civilian harm.

During a media briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and military spokespeople emphasized the attack's barbarity in Pahalgam aimed at disrupting Kashmir's return to normalcy. Operation Sindoor is India's deepest military action in Pakistani territory since 1971, marking a historic defense stance.
