Operation Sindoor, India’s military response targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the Pahalgam terror attack, remains ongoing, according to ANI reports citing government sources.
The development comes hours after India and Pakistan announced a cessation of cross-border firings. On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a high-level security meeting at his residence, attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, the Chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan.
“Wahan se goli chalegi, yahan se gola chalega” (If they fire bullets, we will fire shells), PM Modi reportedly directed the armed forces, emphasising a robust response to any provocation.
Key Outcomes of Operation Sindoor
The Indian strike reportedly devastated Jaish-e-Mohammed’s (JeM) headquarters in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, using advanced weaponry. PM Modi declared, “Mitti me mila denge” (We will reduce them to dust), confirming the destruction of terror hubs in Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Muzaffarabad.
India has linked the Indus Water Treaty to cross-border terrorism, declaring it will remain in abeyance until Pakistan ceases terror activities.
“Ghus ke maarenge” (We will strike deep inside), a senior official stated, underscoring India’s capability to hit high-value targets within Pakistan.
Government sources confirmed no discussions occurred between the NSAs or Foreign Ministers of both nations—only DGMO-level talks.
Army on High Alert
Earlier today, the Indian Army stated that following ceasefire violations on May 10-11, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi reviewed the western border situation with commanders, granting them “full authority for kinetic response” to any breach of the DGMO agreement.
A tri-service media briefing by the Directors General of Military Operations (Army, Navy, Air Force) is scheduled for 6:30 PM today.
