News Today: India strikes Pakistan Operation Sindoor update

In a dramatic escalation of cross-border tensions, the Indian government has confirmed the launch of a precision military operation named Operation Sindoor. The operation targeted what India describes as “terrorist infrastructure” located within Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The Indian Defense Ministry stated that nine specific sites were struck, claiming these locations had been involved in planning and executing attacks against India.

In a formal statement, Indian officials emphasized the operation was “focused, measured and non-escalatory” in nature. Notably, the government asserted that “no Pakistani military facilities were targeted,” underscoring India’s intent to minimize military confrontation while addressing what it describes as ongoing security threats.

The strike follows last month’s deadly attack on foreign tourists in India-administered Kashmir, which India attributes to Pakistan-based militant groups. The Indian government said, “This action is a demonstration of India’s resolve to protect its citizens and maintain regional peace by dismantling terror networks operating across the border.”

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s military has issued a strong response, accusing India of carrying out a “shameful and cowardly attack” from within Indian airspace. A spokesperson for Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) warned, “All of our air force jets are airborne. Pakistan will respond to this act of aggression at a time and place of its choosing.”

Global reaction to the India strikes Pakistan Operation Sindoor update is expected as the situation unfolds. Military analysts warn of rising tensions in South Asia, with the potential for further retaliation if diplomatic channels fail to de-escalate the conflict.
