OPERATION SINDOOR . Content Warning.
On the night of May 6-7, 2025, India launched Operation Sindoor, a meticulously planned military operation targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). This operation was a direct retaliation for the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terrorist attack, where 26 civilians, including one Nepali national, were killed by the Pakistan-based terrorist group The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The attack, marked by its deliberate targeting of Hindu men, was the deadliest civilian assault in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, prompting a swift and decisive response from the Indian government. Operation Sindoor not only showcased India’s military precision but also marked a significant evolution in its counter-terrorism doctrine, emphasizing preemptive and non-escalatory strikes against terrorist networks.
