In a strong retaliatory strike, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting multiple terrorist infrastructures across the Line of Control. The action comes just days after the brutal Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 innocent civilians. The government had vowed to hold the attackers accountable—and now says that promise has been fulfilled. In a post on social media platform X, the Indian Army confirmed the success of the mission, stating, “Justice is served – Jai Hind.” External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar also praised the operation, calling for zero tolerance towards terrorism in his latest post on X. Operation Sindoor was a coordinated effort by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, involving the rapid mobilisation of troops and assets. Sources say Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally monitored the operation through the night.
