Overview

  • Indian Armed Forces carried out Operation Sindoor, striking nine terror infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir early Wednesday.
  • The strikes were a response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians, including one Nepali citizen, in the deadliest assault on Indian civilians in years.
  • Targets included Jaish-e-Mohammed's base in Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's headquarters in Muridke, with no Pakistani military facilities hit to ensure a non-escalatory approach.
  • Pakistan has vowed retaliation, calling the strikes an act of war, while global powers have urged restraint as tensions rise along the border.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi granted the military full operational freedom for the strikes, which were monitored closely by top Indian officials and briefed to international counterparts.
