Operation Sindoor

Operation Sindoor was a coordinated military strike launched by the Indian Armed Forces on the night of 6–7 May 2025, targeting nine terrorist camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

This precision operation, involving the Army and Air Force, was conducted in direct retaliation to the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. The strikes focused on terror infrastructure linked to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, hitting key locations including Bahawalpur and Muridke, without targeting any Pakistani military installations.

The Indian government described the mission as focused, measured, and non-escalatory, emphasising considerable restraint in the selection of targets and execution.
