On May 7, 2025, India launched a bold and a military operation as Operation Sindoor, aimed at destroying terrorist camps and infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). This powerful response came just two weeks after the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, in which 26 civilians were killed, including 25 Indians and one Nepalese citizen. The scale and cruelty of the Pahalgam attack shocked the nation and made it clear that a strong, direct response was needed.
“The barbarity displayed by terrorists in Pahalgam on April 22 had shocked the entire country and the world. The merciless killing of innocent citizens in front of their family and their children on the basis of their religion was a very gruesome face of terror and cruelty,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his address to the nation on 12 May 2025.
