Operation Sindoor Live Updates: Indian Army Releases Footage of Air Strikes on Pakistan and PoK
Operation Sindoor was a covert military strike reportedly carried out by India in response to a major terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region. Although Indian defense authorities have not officially confirmed it, the operation is widely believed to have targeted terror infrastructure in territories occupied by Pakistan.
According to multiple reports, the operation saw the deployment of precision airstrike weapons, including the SCALP and HAMMER missiles, known for their long-range capabilities and high accuracy. These air-to-surface missiles, originally of French origin, have been integrated into India’s Rafale fighter jets, giving the Indian Air Force a significant tactical advantage.
According to reports, the strikes aimed to destroy training camps and launchpads used by terror groups allegedly supported by Pakistan's intelligence apparatus.
The code name “Sindoor”—Sanskrit for vermilion—symbolizes blood and sacrifice, suggesting a strong retaliatory message. The operation marks a shift in India’s military posture, showing readiness to respond with technologically superior force while keeping strategic ambiguity intact. While Pakistan has neither acknowledged the strikes nor confirmed any damage, defense analysts see Operation Sindoor as part of India’s evolving doctrine of proactive deterrence.

Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Asif says Islamabad is open to reducing tensions between the two countries if India de-escalates the current situation. His statement comes in the wake of India's overnight strike on Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, targeting terrorist bases.
Speaking to international media, Asif confirmed that Pakistan would not initiate any hostilities but would respond if provoked.
"We have consistently maintained over the past two weeks that we will not initiate any hostile action against India. However, Asif stated that we will respond if we come under attack. “If India chooses to step back, we are fully prepared to wind down this tension."
