In the dead of night, at precisely 1:44 am, the Indian Armed Forces unleashed Operation Sindoor — a powerful, no-holds-barred assault that left nine terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) reduced to rubble. This is not just another strike; it is India’s loudest message yet to terror sponsors across the border: your time is up.
24 precision missile strikes thundered through terror strongholds, including Muridke (the Lashkar-e-Taiba den) and Bahawalpur (Jaish-e-Mohammed’s home turf). According to intelligence sources, over 70 terrorists were neutralized and 60 more injured. Even the top brass wasn’t spared — JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar confirmed that 10 of his family members and 4 close aides were among the dead.
This operation was India’s direct response to the bloodshed in Pahalgam, Anantnag, where 26 innocent lives — 25 Indians and a Nepali — were brutally taken in a terror attack on April 22. In a stern statement, India’s Ministry of Defence confirmed that the strikes targeted infrastructure from where multiple attacks on India had been hatched and directed.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had vowed retribution, promising to chase down not just the attackers but the entire network — to the “ends of the earth” and deliver punishment “beyond their imagination.” With Operation Sindoor, that promise was delivered with devastating precision.
Unlike past retaliatory actions like the 2016 Uri surgical strikes or the 2019 Balakot airstrikes, Operation Sindoor marks a seismic shift in India’s counter-terror playbook. This was not a limited strike — it was expansive, technologically superior, and strategically bold. For the first time, India’s forces reached deep into enemy territory with a scale that rattled not just the terror camps but also their masters sitting in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
A senior government source put it bluntly:
“The sheer magnitude of militant casualties is a clear warning. India now reserves the right to strike first, and no place — not even deep inside Pakistan — is out of our reach.”
As the nation simultaneously rolled out a security drill across 244 districts to fortify civil defence against hostile threats, Operation Sindoor stands as a turning point — proving that India will no longer tolerate terror games and will hit back harder, deeper, and smarter.
