Operation Sindoor: India strikes 4 terror bases in Pak Anamika Gottipati, May 7, 2025May 8, 2025 In the early hours of Wednesday, India launched a major military offensive targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Codenamed “Operation Sindoor,” the operation marked a coordinated effort by the Army, Navy, and Air Force—making it the most extensive cross-border precision strike since the 2019 Balakot airstrikes. The mission was carried out in retaliation for the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, including a serving Indian Navy officer and a Nepali national. The attack was attributed to the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is believed to receive logistical and financial support from elements within the Pakistani government. 📖 Must Read: India-Pak ceasefire: Mixed reactions in India, PM remains silent Official statement The official statement follows: “Our actions have been focused, measured, and non-escalatory.
