What is Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor is an Indian Army-Air Force joint op, in which 9 terror camps, situated at PoK, Pakistan, have been destroyed with air missiles. This mission was a retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 innocents were killed. Soon after the attack, a press release was share by the Indian government, confirming the attack, and also stating that the operation was "measured and non-escalatory."
The statement reads, "A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India 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. 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."
