Operation Sindoor

 


Operation Sindoor was a significant military action undertaken by India on May 7, 2025, in response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 Hindu tourists. The operation targeted nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, aiming to dismantle terrorist infrastructure associated with groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. The name "Sindoor" refers to the red powder symbolizing marriage in Hindu culture, highlighting the operation's connection to the widowed victims of the Pahalgam attack. 

India's strikes were carried out using Rafale jets equipped with SCALP missiles and AASM Hammer bombs, focusing on areas such as Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Muzaffarabad. The Indian government emphasized that the operation was precise and aimed solely at terrorist facilities, avoiding Pakistani military installations.

In retaliation, Pakistan launched "Operation Bunyan al-Marsus" on May 10, 2025, conducting missile and drone strikes across various Indian cities, including New Delhi. This marked a significant escalation, with both nations engaging in intense cross-border shelling and drone warfare. The conflict raised international concerns due to the nuclear capabilities of both countries. 

The aftermath saw heightened military readiness on both sides, with international leaders urging restraint to prevent further escalation. The situation underscored the fragile nature of India-Pakistan relations and the potential for rapid escalation in the region.
