India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting multiple Pakistan terror camps with precision-guided missile strikes. According to official sources, at least 70 terrorists were neutralized in a series of 24 missile strikes conducted across nine terror training camps in Pakistan-occupied territories. The high-intensity operation marks a significant escalation in the ongoing India Pakistan tension and is being seen as a decisive move against cross-border terrorism.
What is Operation Sindoor?
Operation Sindoor is a pre-emptive, coordinated military response launched by Indian armed forces in retaliation to a recent spike in cross-border infiltrations and intelligence inputs about large-scale terrorist mobilizations near the Line of Control (LoC). The name ‘Sindoor’, symbolizing sacrifice and resilience, was reportedly chosen to honor the memory of fallen soldiers and civilians targeted by terror groups operating from Pakistan.

Live Updates: Key Details of the Strikes
As per the latest updates from top defense sources:
- 24 missiles were launched during the night-long offensive across nine identified terror launchpads.
- These strikes took place in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and certain remote regions along the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
- Real-time drone surveillance and satellite imaging were used to guide the high-precision missile systems.
- The operation was approved at the highest levels of Indian government and executed jointly by the Indian Air Force (IAF) and specialized units of the Indian Army.
Defense officials confirmed that no civilian casualties were reported and the targets were exclusively terror-related infrastructure including arms dumps, communication centers, and militant hideouts.
Political and Strategic Reactions
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level security meeting shortly after the strikes. The Prime Minister reiterated India’s firm resolve to eliminate terrorism at its root and stated, “Our armed forces have shown yet again that India’s territorial integrity and national security will not be compromised.”
On the other hand, Pakistan’s Foreign Office has condemned the strikes, calling them an act of “aggression,” and warned of consequences. However, India maintains that the attacks were defensive counter-terrorism measures based on credible intelligence.
The strikes have drawn global attention, with the United States and France urging restraint while recognizing India’s right to self-defense. Meanwhile, China has called for “dialogue and de-escalation” between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
Operation’s Impact on Cross-Border Terrorism
Military experts believe Operation Sindoor has dealt a significant blow to terror organizations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen, which have long used Pakistan’s territory as a safe haven. With nine terror camps dismantled and over 70 terrorists eliminated, this operation may severely disrupt upcoming infiltration attempts and planned terror strikes on Indian soil.
The operation also sends a strong message to the global community regarding India’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and its readiness to take unilateral action when diplomacy fails.
Rise in Security Across Indian Borders
Following the operation, the Indian government has issued a nationwide high alert, especially in border states like Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan. All major airports, railway stations, and government institutions are under increased security protocols.
Local administration in Kashmir Valley has imposed precautionary curfews in some sensitive areas to prevent any untoward incidents or backlash. Schools and colleges in border districts have also been closed temporarily.
Operation Sindoor marks one of the most intense and decisive military operations carried out by India in recent years. With 70 terrorists killed and multiple Pakistan terror camps obliterated, the mission stands as a testament to India’s growing military precision and diplomatic confidence.
As cross-border strikes continue to redefine security policies in South Asia, the world watches closely how this new chapter in India Pakistan tension unfolds in the coming days.
