Army Chief Says Operation Sindoor Hit Terror Targets and Spared Civilians

Senior officials describe a multi-domain, tri-service action that relied on a whole-of-nation effort.

Overview

  • Gen Upendra Dwivedi said the May operation combined principles with technology, striking only terrorist infrastructure and avoiding Pakistani civilian or defence sites.
  • He added that forces paused actions during prayers and focused on locations where terrorists were present, calling the campaign a success.
  • The military action followed the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and the four days of clashes ended after an understanding on May 10.
  • Col Sofiya Qureshi said the operation marked a paradigm shift that validated India’s capability for multi-domain precision warfare and tri-service synergy.
  • Qureshi highlighted youth and civilian contributions, partnerships with IITs and DRDO on AI and cyber tools, and urged digital literacy to counter information warfare.
