Operation Sindoor: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Operation Sindoor''' was a military operation launched by India on 7 May 2025, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Named after the vermilion powder symbolizing marital status in Hindu culture, the operation was a direct response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack on 22 April 2025, which killed 26 civilians, primarily Hindu tourists. The strikes escalated into a brief armed conflict involving aerial engagements, drone attacks, and artillery exchanges along the Line of Control (LoC). The conflict concluded with a ceasefire on 10 May 2025, mediated primarily by the United States. It marked the deepest Indian military penetration into Pakistan since the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War and highlighted evolving strategies in asymmetric warfare under nuclear shadows. Analysts viewed it as a calibrated demonstration of force, establishing a new threshold for Indian deterrence against cross-border terrorism.
