Operation Sindoor

The Ministry of Defence on Sunday said that Operation Sindoor marked a turning point in India's defence doctrine-- demonstrating tri-services synergy, strategic depth, and technological dominance in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.

"With precision airstrikes on key targets like Nur Khan and Rahimyar Khan Air Bases, robust naval posturing through a Carrier Battle Group, and effective Army-BSF coordination on the ground, India showcased seamless multi-domain warfare," tweeted Defence Ministry.

The ministry went on to add that the operation was powered by integrated systems like IACCS and Akash missile, and backed by major reforms. CDS-led DMA, Integrated Theatre Commands, Joint Logistics Nodes, and real-time joint exercises like Prachand Prahar and Desert Hunt.

"As the Armed Forces execute reforms under the ‘ Year of Defence Reforms 2025’, Operation Sindoor stands as a bold statement—India is united, future-ready, and resolute against cross-border terrorism," further read the note by Defence Ministry.

Earlier today, the Indian Army shared fresh visuals of military action carried out under Operation Sindoor, calling it justice and not revenge for the Pahalgam attack in which 26 civilians were killed.

The video shared on the Army's Western Command X handle showed military firing and shelling on Pakistani territory as part of the strikes on May 7 and later. A soldier can be heard saying, "This (Operation Sindoor) started with the Pahalgam attack. It is not anger but a resolve to teach a lesson that will be remembered in the future. It is justice, not revenge."
