On May 6, 2025, India launched Operation Sindoor, a high-precision military campaign targeting terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). This operation was India’s direct response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, where 26 Indian tourists lost their lives in a brutal assault carried out by Pakistan-backed militants.

India Strikes Back After Pahalgam Terror Attack |
🎯 Precision Strikes with a Focused Objective
The Indian Armed Forces executed a total of 24 missile strikes across nine key locations, including Bahawalpur, Muridke, Muzaffarabad, and Kotli. These areas were identified as operational hubs of terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. According to Indian officials, the mission was carried out with great care to avoid civilian and military infrastructure, aiming only at dismantling terror networks.
🌐 Global Concerns
As tensions rapidly escalated, the international community—including the United Nations, United States, and China—called for restraint and immediate de-escalation. With both India and Pakistan being nuclear-armed nations, the fear of further conflict has drawn urgent global attention.
🧭 A Shift in India’s Approach
Operation Sindoor reflects a clear shift in India’s counter-terrorism stance: from strategic patience to proactive strikes. The operation also reinforced India’s message that terror attacks on its soil will not go unanswered.
In essence, Operation Sindoor wasn’t just a military maneuver—it was a strong political and strategic message: India will defend its people, no matter where the threat originates.
