On May 7, the Indian Armed Forces launched a major operation called `Operation Sindoor` in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed at least 26 civilians. Indian forces crossed the Line of Control and struck nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Defence Ministry confirmed that no Pakistani military sites were targeted. The surprise joint operation by the Army, Navy, and Air Force caused panic in parts of Pakistan, especially in Punjab province. A resident of Muridke described the fear after four drones appeared during the night. The attack left many in shock. Prime Minister Narendra Modi closely monitored the mission overnight, according to government sources. The operation aimed to destroy terrorist infrastructure across the border.
