Launched on May 7, Operation Sindoor was a direct response to the brutal April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 tourists lost their lives.

The operation resulted in the elimination of over 100 terrorists and the destruction of 11 Pakistani air bases, severely impacting the enemy’s military capabilities.
