In a major counter-terror operation, Indian forces have reportedly eliminated over 100 terrorists as part of Operation Sindoor, though officials say the final toll is still being assessed. The operation, launched in response to the deadly April 22 attack on tourists in Pahalgam, is still underway. Operation Sindoor was carried out in the early hours of May 7, targeting nine known terror hideouts across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The precision strikes were based on solid intelligence and aimed at neutralizing facilities linked to UN-designated terror outfits, including Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. The Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force jointly executed the mission, placing special emphasis on avoiding civilian harm and steering clear of Pakistani military infrastructure. Officials have emphasized that India does not seek further escalation, but will act decisively if provoked. For now, the message from New Delhi is clear: the operation was a direct response to terror and not the act of war.
