Defence Ministry To Make Presentation On Operation Sindoor At 10 am Today

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) will present a press briefing on Operation Sindoor today at 10:00 AM, where additional information regarding the operation will be unveiled.

India recently carried out its largest military attacks within Pakistan since 1971, hitting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This was done in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack and to neutralize commanders of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) who were involved in planning attacks against India.

The MoD declared, "The Indian Armed Forces have commenced 'OPERATION SINDOOR' aimed at terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where plans for launching attacks against India have been made."

The statement reiterated that the operations were measured, focused, and non-escalatory, with no Pakistani military installations being attacked. The Indian Armed Forces effectively struck nine terror targets—four in Pakistan, namely Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot, and five in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir—using precision weapons in a coordinated operation involving the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi oversaw the operation during the night, and all nine targets were said to have been hit successfully.

In a separate incident, three civilians were killed as a result of unprovoked firing by the Pakistan Army, which breached the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army said it is retaliating proportionately to this aggression.
