Operation Sindoor is a precision strike operation launched to target the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and was carried out after the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed.

Addressing a press briefing in the national capital, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh gave details on the Operation Sindoor. Nine terror sites in Pakistan, including five in PoK, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) were targeted.

Colonel Sophia Qureshi detailed the specific terror camps targeted in PoK. Meanwhile, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh elaborated on the operation's strategic intent.

The Wing Commander said, "Nine terror camps were targeted and destroyed." She added that Pakistan has maintained a 'complex terror infrastructure for three decades', comprising 21 recruitment, indoctrination, and launch pad centres across Pakistan and PoK.

"The targets for Operation Sindoor were based on credible intelligence inputs and locations that were so selected to avoid damage to civilian infrastructure and loss of civilian lives," Singh added. The strikes were executed between 1:05 am and 1:30 am (for 25 minutes), involved a coordinated effort by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, targeting key facilities like the JeM and LeT bases in Pakistan as well as PoK.
