Operation Sindoor Live Updates: In a decisive move to combat terrorism, the Indian Armed Forces have successfully executed “Operation Sindoor,” targeting key terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday. This operation was launched in response to the recent heinous attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen, Indian army said in a statement.
The operation involved precision strikes on nine identified sites linked to terrorist outfits, specifically targeting camps associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. Notable locations affected include Masjid Sobhanullah in Ahmed Pur East Bahawalpur, Kotli in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, and Muzaffarabad.
Officials said that the strikes were carefully calibrated, focusing solely on terrorist targets while ensuring no Pakistani military facilities were harmed. This measured approach underscores India’s commitment to restraint and de-escalation amid heightened tensions.
“The actions taken today reflect our resolve to hold accountable those responsible for the Pahalgam attack,” stated a defense spokesperson. “We have acted with precision and care, ensuring that our response is both effective and responsible.”
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has highlighted Pakistan’s role in removing references to the terrorist group The Resistance Front (TRF), which claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam terrorist attack, from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) press statement issued on April 25.
While addressing a media briefing on Operation Sindoor in Delhi on Wednesday, Misri said that TRF, which is a front for the UN-proscribed terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack and added that claims made by TRF were reposted by LeT. He recalled how India had earlier shared inputs regarding the TRF with the UN, bringing out its role as a cover for terrorists based in Pakistan.
He said, “A group calling itself the Resistance Front has claimed responsibility for the attack. This group is a front for the UN-proscribed Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayyiba. It is notable that India had given input about the TRF in the half-yearly report to the monitoring team of the UN’s 1267 Sanctions Committee in May and November 2024, bringing out its role as a cover for Pakistan- based terrorist groups. Earlier, too, in December 2023, India had informed the monitoring team about Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammed operating through small terror groups, such as the TRF. Pakistan’s pressure to remove references to TRF in the April 25 Security Council press statement is notable in this regard.”
