India launched 'Operation Sindoor' at 1:44 a.m. on May 7, 2025, targeting nine terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The operation, named by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was a direct response to a terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen. The strikes were executed with precision, focusing on dismantling terrorist infrastructure linked to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.

The Indian government emphasized that the operation was carefully planned to be non-escalatory and measured, avoiding any Pakistani military facilities. The strikes targeted key locations including Bahawalpur, Muridke, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad, with the intention of neutralizing the terrorist networks responsible for attacks against India. The operation was a joint effort by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, launched entirely from within Indian territory.

The strikes resulted in the deaths of at least 17 terrorists and left around 60 others injured, according to initial intelligence reports. No civilian casualties were reported. The operation has led to heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, with Pakistan reporting casualties and vowing retaliation. The Indian Army confirmed the success of the operation, stating 'Justice is served. Jai Hind.'
