Overview

  • Operation Sindoor was launched by India on May 7, targeting nine terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the April 22 Pahalgam massacre that killed 26 civilians.
  • A ceasefire agreement reached on May 10 between India and Pakistan continues with no expiration date, easing border tensions.
  • Trademark applications for 'Operation Sindoor' have been filed in India, the US, and the UK, covering sectors like media, broadcasting, and entertainment, with 14 filings in India alone.
  • Jio Studios, an early applicant in India, withdrew its trademark filing after public backlash, citing an unauthorized submission by a junior employee.
