India's Cross-Border Strike Sends Stern Warning to Terror Networks
- India Launches Precision Strikes in 'Operation Sindoor'
- Finance Minister Hails Military Response
- Nine Terror Targets Neutralized with No Civilian Harm
In a strong statement, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman praised the Indian Army's successful conduct of 'Operation Sindoor' a precision military operation against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK). The operation was a retaliatory strike against the April 22 Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen.
Speaking to social media site X, FM Sitharaman lauded the Army's strategic and quick reaction, saying, "The 'Operation Sindoor' is a robust reaction by Indian Army striking at terror centers in Pakistan. India will never accept terrorism. Under PM Narendra Modi's leadership, we will make sure each perpetrator of terror is hunted down".
The military strike, carried out with precision, targeted nine vital infrastructure points associated with terror groups based in Pakistan and PoK. They consisted of terror camps and logistics centers rumored to have facilitated cross-border raids on Indian territory.
As per officials, the operation was overseen extremely closely by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and top military commanders. Thorough planning allowed no civilian or Pakistani military target to be damaged, which indicates India's commitment to providing justice without increasing tensions.
"OUR actions have been focused and precise". an Indian Army spokesperson stated. "We have targeted only terrorist camps where plans to attack India have been concocted and executed".
The Army asserted that 'Operation Sindoor' reiterates India's strong position against terrorism, with the message that the perpetrators will be dealt with timely and decisive action. Calling the mission a strategic and symbolic victory, the Indian Army concluded, 'Justice is served. Jai Hind'.
This is one of India's most important cross-border operations after the 2019 Balakot airstrikes, reaffirming its unflinching commitment to national security.
