Event Summary

Operation Sindoor was launched by India on May 7, 2025, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. The operation involved Indian armed forces targeting and destroying nine terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul Mujahideen, reportedly killing over 100 terrorists. Pakistan retaliated with drone attacks and shelling, leading to a four-day military confrontation that ended with a ceasefire agreement on May 10, 2025. One year later, India's Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the operation as a symbol of India's military resolve, preparedness, and commitment to national security.
