Operation Sindoor: As promised, India launched a series of precision air strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) targeting terror launchpads under Operation Sindoor on late Tuesday night, avenging the killings of innocent Indian civilians by Pakistani-backed terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22.
The Defence Ministry has announced that it will hold a detailed briefing on 'OPERATION SINDOOR' at around 10 AM today in which the government will provide a comprehensive information about the military action targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK.
The briefing is expected to cover the operation's planning, execution, specific targets, and strategic objectives following this morning's strikes on nine terrorist sites.
Officials will likely elaborate on India's "considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution" and the non-escalatory nature of the operation.
The briefing comes amid ongoing tensions, with Pakistan already violating the ceasefire agreement by firing artillery in the Poonch-Rajouri area.
In an official statement, the Defence Ministry soon after it carried out joint strikes on post Tuesday midnight said, "A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.”
“Altogether, a total of nine sites have been targeted. Our actions have been focused, measured and non- escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India 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 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable. There will be detailed briefing on OPERATION SINDOOR', later today,” the Defence Ministry added.
