Doval Dares Foreign Media to Produce Image of Indian Damage, Highlights Home-Grown Precision Strikes

At an IIT Madras convocation, India’s national security adviser said Operation Sindoor’s precise 23-minute strikes under a sustained ceasefire reflect a new doctrine of treating terror as war, highlighting the need for indigenous defence capacity.

Overview

  • Doval challenged international outlets to show any satellite or photographic proof of damage on Indian soil from Pakistan’s counterstrikes, insisting “not even a glass pane was broken.”
  • He recapped that Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7–8, targeted nine terrorist camps deep inside Pakistan and PoK, striking each with pinpoint accuracy and avoiding unintended sites.
  • The NSA credited home-grown systems—BrahMos missiles, battlefield surveillance radars and integrated air command and control—for the operation’s flawless execution.
  • His address underscored India’s doctrinal shift to treat cross-border terrorism as an act of war and marked a transition into a diplomatic phase under the ongoing ceasefire.
  • India remains on high alert for renewed threats while intensifying diplomatic outreach and contesting foreign narratives on its military actions.
