Operation Sindoor: A Strategic Strike without Airspace Breach

In a strategic move against terror networks, India's Operation Sindoor has received commendation from former diplomat KP Fabian. Describing it as a 'well-calibrated' operation, Fabian highlighted how Indian forces executed their mission without breaching Pakistani airspace, unlike past operations post-Pulwama attack.

The operation targeted nine terror infrastructure sites both in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, aiming to neutralize key figures from Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba involved in attacks against India. Fabian noted the significance of the expanded military reach showcased in this operation.

Meanwhile, Pakistan finds itself at a crossroads, as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif faces internal pressure to respond. Fabian cited Sharif's previous enigmatic remarks about retaliating, noting the complexity of the current geopolitical tension. Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump's stance against further South Asian conflict and China's supportive portrayal of Pakistan add layers to the diplomatic landscape.
