New Delhi | May 7, 2025 –
In a powerful and precise counter-terror operation, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'Operation Sindoor', striking deep into Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the barbaric Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 innocent lives.
The Indian Army, in coordination with the Indian Air Force, successfully targeted nine terror camps linked to Pakistan-based terror outfits such as Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM). One of the key highlights of the mission was the shooting down of a Pakistani JF-17 fighter jet using an Akash surface-to-air missile, sending a strong message about India’s resolve and readiness.
