The Indian armed forces operated Operation Sindoor on the night intervening between May 6 and May 7, targeted terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan and Pakistan -occupied Kashmir, on 22 April under the retaliation of the Pahgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 citizens.
Pakistan responded with a series of cross -border firing in Jammu and Kashmir and a series of military installations and drone attacks targeting civil areas, most of which were thwarted by Indian air defense systems. India also hit Pakistani airbase including Noor Khan Airbase in Islamabad. The enmity lasted till May 10, when the two countries declared a ceasefire.
During his address on 12 May, PM Narendra Modi drawn a ‘new red line’, clarifying India’s defined principle against cross-border terrorism. He said that the acts of terror would be completed with a response, saying that India would not differentiate between terrorists and state-operators of terror.
Currently, India has sent seven multi-sided delegations-three of which are led by opposition leaders, including Shashi Tharoor of Congress-to rally a global support for India’s war against Atanka.
