As the nation marked one year of Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that the nation remained firm in its resolve to defeat terrorism.
In the early hours of May 7 last year, India launched Operation Sindoor — a series of precision air and missile strikes targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 civilians dead.
Under the operation, Indian forces struck nine terror camps across Pakistan and PoK, targeting bases linked to the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba outfits. At least 100 terrorists were killed in the strikes. Hostilities ended on May 10 after military-level talks between Pakistan and India.
In a post on X, PM Modi said the armed forces had displayed “unparalleled courage, precision and resolve” during the operation, adding that it reflected India’s firm stand against terrorism and its unwavering commitment to national security.
The Prime Minister said the strikes showcased the professionalism, preparedness and coordinated strength of the armed forces, while also highlighting growing coordination among the services and the benefits of India’s push for self-reliance in defence.
