New Delhi. The Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against Bharat have been planned and directed.
Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted.
Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. Bharat has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.
These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Bharatiyas and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable.
Operation Sindoor was conducted between 1.05 to 1.30 AM last night, and nine terrorist sites were targeted. Giving details about the operation in New Delhi, Colonel Sofia Qureshi of the Indian Army and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the Indian Air Force informed that Operation Sindoor was launched to give justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
They said for the last three decades, Pakistan has been constructing terror infrastructure, which includes recruitment, indoctrination centres, training areas, and launch pads that are spread across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. They gave details about the operation, including destroyed terrorist sites and how the operation was conducted successfully without targeting military and civilian installations.
