Operation SINDOOR LIVE Updates: India Aims to Shape International Opinion Amid LoC Tensions

The Indian Army has released an official booklet detailing 'Operation Sindoor', showcasing the Operations Room where the operation was closely monitored by the highest military leadership.

The booklet highlights the command center’s role in overseeing critical decisions during the operation, with key personnel including Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, and Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh actively involved in the monitoring process.

This release provides a rare glimpse into the coordinated efforts and strategic command exercised by India’s top military brass during the operation.

As part of India’s intensified diplomatic outreach following Operation Sindoor, an all-party delegation led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha has departed for a five-nation tour aimed at exposing Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and reinforcing India’s firm stance against terror in all its forms.

The delegation will visit Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Singapore, where they will engage with government officials, diplomats, and strategic think tanks to present India’s perspective on terrorism and highlight the country's zero-tolerance approach.

This initiative is a key part of the wider global campaign launched by the Government of India to counter false narratives being pushed by Pakistan, especially at international forums like the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), where Pakistan remains a member for the next 17 months.

The visit aims to reinforce India’s united political will against terrorism and to strengthen international cooperation in tackling the global threat.

Several families in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir have been left homeless following intense shelling during the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. Though hostilities have since ceased under a mutual agreement, the damage caused—particularly in villages close to the Line of Control—continues to haunt the local population.

Residents reported extensive destruction as shells fired from across the border reduced several homes to rubble. In one such village, an elderly local named Mohammad shared his ordeal, stating that his two-storey house collapsed completely after being struck.

"It was early morning, and I was leaving for prayers when we heard a loud explosion. Our home is now uninhabitable," he said. “We are requesting the government to provide tents or any form of assistance. Officials did come to inspect the damage, but nothing has happened since.”

Mohammad, who suffered head injuries during the shelling and was hospitalized for a week, also expressed concern over his family’s uncertain future. “I took loans to educate my daughter. We have no support system left. I urge the government to help us in any way they can.”

Affected families are now appealing for immediate relief, including shelter and financial aid, as they attempt to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of the conflict.

Director General of Army Air Defence, Lt Gen Sumer Ivan D'Cunha, asserted on Monday that India possesses the operational capability to target any location within Pakistan if the situation demands. His remarks come in the backdrop of Operation Sindoor and rising tensions along the Line of Control.

In an interview with news agency ANI, Lt Gen D'Cunha stated, “The whole of Pakistan is within range,” underlining the Indian military’s preparedness to engage across the full depth of Pakistani territory. He further remarked that even if Pakistan were to relocate its General Headquarters (GHQ) from Rawalpindi to regions like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, “they would need to find a deep hole” for cover.

The statement reflects the Indian Army's strategic confidence and readiness amidst evolving security dynamics in the region.

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, held the Modi government accountable for the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, alleging a serious lapse in ensuring tourist safety.

Speaking critically of the government's handling, Kharge said the deaths of 26 civilians could have been prevented had there been proper advisories and adequate security in place. He questioned why tourists were not warned about potential threats in the region, especially when intelligence inputs had reportedly advised Prime Minister Modi against visiting Kashmir.

"Why wasn’t the public cautioned if the situation was so volatile? Had tourists been alerted, lives could have been saved—and perhaps even this flare-up could have been avoided," Kharge remarked.

In a move signalling India's intent to engage the international community following recent security developments, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Monday held detailed briefings with three parliamentary delegations set to travel abroad. The briefings come in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent military operations under Operation Sindoor.

The delegations, headed by Sanjay Jha (JD-U), Shrikant Shinde (Shiv Sena), and Kanimozhi (DMK), are part of a broader seven-group initiative aimed at articulating India’s stance on cross-border terrorism and regional stability. According to officials, the sessions focused on aligning messaging, highlighting India’s calibrated military response, and addressing potential diplomatic queries.

The upcoming visits are expected to cover key capitals, where lawmakers will engage with foreign counterparts and policymakers to underline India’s concerns and counter Pakistan’s narrative on the recent escalation.

In response to recent cross-border hostilities, the Indian Army launched a series of coordinated operations under the banner of Operation SINDOOR, following a Pakistan-sponsored terror attack in Pahalgam. The Army’s response began with targeted strikes on terrorist infrastructure, with six out of nine identified locations opposite Poonch, Rajouri, and Akhnoor reported neutralized in initial action.

The Indian Armed Forces will carry out extensive military exercises involving bomb detonations, rocket launches, and live firing at the Dollungmukh Firing Range, located in the Dulung Reserve Forest of Lakhimpur district along the Arunachal Pradesh border. The drills will be conducted from May 20 to August 31, during which the area will remain highly active and restricted. Read More..

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri told a parliamentary committee on Monday that the ceasefire between India and Pakistan was a strictly bilateral decision, dismissing claims of any American involvement in brokering the agreement, according to sources who spoke to India Today TV.

Misri’s remarks came amid questions from opposition members about US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that his administration facilitated the ceasefire. One panel member asked why India remained silent despite Trump publicly asserting his role at least seven times. Another questioned why India allowed Trump to dominate the narrative, especially when he frequently invoked Kashmir in his statements.

Responding, Misri firmly stated that the ceasefire was agreed upon solely by India and Pakistan, with no third-party mediation. “There was absolutely no role played by the US in the ceasefire agreement,” he emphasized. He added, “Donald Trump did not take our permission to come to centre stage. He wanted to come to centre stage, so he came.”

On concerns about nuclear escalation, Misri reiterated that the conflict remained within conventional warfare limits, with no signs of nuclear signalling by Pakistan. The Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries agreed to halt all military actions on May 10.

When questioned about Pakistan’s use of Chinese-origin military equipment, Misri said, “It doesn’t matter what they used; what matters is that we hit their airbases hard.” Asked about Indian aircraft losses during the conflict, the Foreign Secretary declined to comment, citing national security reasons.

Addressing a statement by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, Misri clarified that Jaishankar had informed the committee that New Delhi had communicated to Islamabad—after the first phase of Operation Sindoor—that only terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) were struck.

The parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, chaired by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, included members from various parties such as Trinamool Congress, Congress, AIMIM, and BJP. The meeting was held in the context of Operation Sindoor, India’s military response to the Pahalgam attack, which intensified tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Sunday described the latest meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee as one of the most comprehensive and constructive sessions in recent times, noting that it extended an hour beyond schedule due to the depth of discussions.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Tharoor said, “We had a very comprehensive and rich discussion. A meeting that would normally have concluded by 6 PM went on till 7 PM, which reflects the seriousness with which members engaged today.”

The session saw the attendance of 24 MPs — reportedly a record for this particular committee — with members posing thoughtful and probing questions. Tharoor remarked that the committee made meaningful progress and received satisfactory responses to the issues raised.

A key highlight of the meeting was the expression of unanimous support for the Foreign Secretary, who has recently come under criticism. “There was a sentiment in the room to pass a resolution expressing solidarity with the Foreign Secretary in light of unwarranted attacks. However, he himself requested that no formal resolution be adopted,” Tharoor stated.

He emphasized that while no official resolution was passed, the collective view of the committee was clear: the Foreign Secretary has served the nation with distinction, and members stood firmly by him.

Summing up the atmosphere of the meeting, Tharoor said, “We’ve had a good discussion and are parting in a very positive spirit.”

The Congress on Monday intensified its attack on External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar over his controversial revelation that Pakistan was informed ahead of India’s counter-terror strike under ‘Operation Sindoor’. Labelling it not just a diplomatic failure but a "betrayal of the nation," senior Congress leaders accused the government of jeopardizing national security and letting dreaded terrorists escape.

In a joint operation, the Indian Army’s 34 Rashtriya Rifles, the Special Operations Group (SOG) Shopian, and the CRPF 178 Battalion arrested two terrorist associates in the DK Pora area of Shopian district, Jammu and Kashmir.

Security forces recovered two pistols, four grenades, 43 live rounds, and other incriminating items from the suspects. 

Shopian Police have filed an FIR, and an investigation is ongoing to explore their connections and activities.

This operation represents a major step forward in the investigation of illegal and subversive activities in the area. It underscores the Shopian Police’s commitment to eliminating threats to national security and ensuring peace and stability.

On May 13, police sources confirmed that three terrorists linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were killed in the Shukroo forest area of Keller, located in South Kashmir’s Shopian district.

A senior police official stated that a large cordon-and-search operation was initiated in the Kellar forests following specific intelligence about terrorists hiding in the area.

During a combing operation in the Shukroo forest area of Keller, terrorists hiding in the region opened fire on the joint police and army team, leading to a fierce gunfight.

In the ensuing gunfight, three terrorists linked to LeT were neutralized, though their identities have not yet been officially confirmed.

In a significant crackdown on cybercrime and anti-national activities, Assam Police has dismantled a major fake SIM card racket under the codename ‘Operation GHOST SIM’. The operation, conducted with strategic precision, was disclosed at a press briefing by Director General of Police (DGP) Harmeet Singh and Guwahati Police Commissioner Partha Sarathi Mahanta.

In a significant political development, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has indirectly raised serious national security concerns over a Congress MP from Assam reportedly linked to a prolonged stay in Pakistan and alleged financial ties to a Pakistan-based NGO.

Without naming the individual explicitly, Sarma appeared to target Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi and his wife Elizabeth Gogoi, citing credible documents indicating that Mrs. Gogoi was drawing a salary from a Pakistan-based NGO while working in India. Reports claim the MP himself stayed in Pakistan for nearly two weeks—a fact he has not denied. Read More

In a significant revelation, the Prime Minister of Pakistan has publicly acknowledged the occurrence of ‘Operation Sindoor’, admitting that an Indian missile did indeed strike the Nur Khan Airbase. This marks the first time a top Pakistani authority has confirmed the impact of India's retaliatory action.

Previously, Pakistan had consistently denied any damage or successful strikes carried out by India. However, the latest admission includes details of the losses inflicted on Pakistani soil during the Indian response, shedding new light on the actual extent of the operation.

This acknowledgment not only confirms India's claim of a successful counterstrike but also exposes the extent of prior Pakistani attempts to downplay or conceal the aftermath of the operation.

The Press Information Bureau (PIB) on Wednesday debunked circulating claims on social media suggesting that India had informed Pakistan before launching Operation Sindoor, clarifying that External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar made no such statement.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the PIB Fact Check unit stated, “The social media post falsely implies from External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar’s statement that India informed Pakistan before the start of #OperationSindoor.”

Labeling the claims as misleading, the PIB further clarified:
“EAM is being misquoted and he has not made this statement.”

The fact-check advisory urged citizens to remain vigilant and not fall for deceptive or fabricated narratives being circulated online.

Operation Sindoor, a recently conducted high-risk mission, has garnered significant attention, but government officials stress the need to rely on verified sources for any related information.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while addressing Indian Army personnel at Badami Bagh Cantonment in Srinagar on Wednesday, asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has redefined India’s policy against terrorism, stating unequivocally that “any attack on Indian soil will be considered an act of war.”

Emphasising India’s preference for peace, Rajnath Singh warned that any attack on the country's sovereignty would be met with a strong response. He also cautioned Pakistan against continued support to terrorism, saying it would “pay a heavier price” for such actions.

Highlighting the scale and significance of Operation Sindoor, the Defence Minister described it as the “biggest action taken by India against terrorism in history” and a clear testament to the country’s resolve to eliminate terror threats. “Operation Sindoor was not just about defence, but about bold decisions. We reached every terrorist hideout and destroyed them. They killed Indians for their religion; we eliminated them for their deeds,” he declared.

Singh said the operation had sent a loud and clear message to terrorists and their sponsors that they are not safe anywhere. “Our forces have demonstrated precision and intent; the counting is left to our enemies,” he added.

Taking a strong stand on Pakistan’s nuclear posturing, the Defence Minister questioned the safety of nuclear weapons in the hands of a “rogue and irresponsible” nation. He urged the international community to bring Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Referring to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Rajnath Singh said it was a deliberate attempt to divide Indian society, but the Armed Forces had delivered a decisive response. He reminded that over two decades ago, Pakistan had promised not to export terrorism, yet continued to deceive India. He urged Pakistan to stop sheltering anti-India terror outfits and to prevent its soil from being used for hostile activities.

Commenting on Pakistan’s economic situation, Singh noted the contrast between India and its neighbour, saying while Pakistan seeks loans from the IMF, India is now among the nations that fund it to aid poor countries.

Reiterating the government's consistent stand, he said, “Terrorism and talks cannot go together. If any dialogue is to happen, it will be only on terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).”

Paying homage to the victims of the Pahalgam attack and the martyred soldiers of Operation Sindoor, he lauded the bravery of the injured troops and expressed the nation's pride in its Armed Forces. “I bring a message from every Indian: We are proud of our forces,” he said.

Rajnath Singh reaffirmed the Government's commitment to modernising the Armed Forces with indigenous defence production, including advanced rifles, missile shields, and drones. He also highlighted enhanced connectivity along the LoC and LAC, stating the government was matching the soldiers’ dedication with steadfast support.

He concluded by expressing confidence that with continued military cooperation, India will soon rid the region of terrorism. “No one will dare cast an evil eye on India’s sovereignty,” he declared.

The event was also attended by Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir Shri Manoj Singh, J&K Chief Minister Shri Omar Abdullah, Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, and other senior Army officials.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday urged citizens to take part in a special exhibition being held at the BJP headquarters in Guwahati, which is open to the general public despite being organised by the party.

The exhibition highlights the locations targeted by the Indian Armed Forces during strikes against terrorist camps in Pakistan. It also features a tribute section to honour the 26 Indians killed in the Pahalgam terror attack, offering prayers for the peace of their souls.

The Chief Minister further announced that Wednesday marked the beginning of the city’s first ‘Tiranga Yatra’, and added that similar patriotic rallies would be organised at district and block levels across the state. He called upon all citizens to actively participate in the upcoming yatras to honour the nation's valour and unity.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Wednesday directed the registration of an FIR against BJP leader and state minister Kunwar Vijay Shah for his derogatory remarks against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. The court deemed his comments "cancerous and dangerous" and a threat to national unity. Read More..

The bravery and heroism of the Indian Army were once again in the global spotlight as 'Operation Sindoor' became a symbol of national strength. To pay tribute to the nation's security forces, a grand ‘Tiranga Yatra’ was organized today in Guwahati, starting from Atal Udyan in Adabari and culminating at the memorial of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhupen Hazarika in Jalukbari.

Operation SINDOOR could mark a pivotal shift in India’s military posture—one that blends precision, restraint, and indigenous technological advancement in response to asymmetric threats. Launched in the aftermath of the tragic April 2025 terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, the operation may signal a more proactive and self-reliant defence doctrine taking root. Read More

Nearly three weeks after inadvertently crossing the international border in Punjab’s Ferozepur district, Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Poornam Kumar Shaw was handed back to Indian authorities by the Pakistan Rangers around 10:30 am on Wednesday. Shaw had been in their custody since April 23.

Shaw was repatriated to India via the Joint Check Post at Attari in Amritsar.

"The handover was carried out peacefully and in line with established protocols," the BSF stated. "Thanks to the sustained efforts of the BSF, including regular flag meetings with the Pakistan Rangers and other communication channels, the repatriation was made possible," the statement added.

Shaw remained in Pakistan’s custody for 21 days. A native of West Bengal, he accidentally crossed the India-Pakistan international border on April 23 while on patrol, just a day after the Pahalgam terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which had heightened border tensions. The incident took place near the Ferozepur sector in Punjab, where the BSF’s 73rd battalion is stationed.

As soon as Shaw crossed the border, he was apprehended by the Pakistan Rangers for questioning. The BSF promptly reached out to the Pakistan Rangers after he went missing, and it was soon confirmed that he was in their custody.

After Shaw’s detention, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had urged the Centre to ensure his prompt return. “We want him to be brought back as early as possible,” she had stated at the time.

Shaw’s father, Bholenath, expressed his relief upon receiving official confirmation from the BSF Headquarters about his son’s release. “I couldn’t believe it,” he told *The Indian Express* over the phone from his home in Rishra, Hooghly.

On Monday, Director General of Air Operations, Air Marshal AK Bharti, confirmed that the Indian Armed Forces did not target the nuclear facility located at Kirana Hills in Pakistan.

Responding to a query during a press conference on Monday, Air Marshal AK Bharti stated, “Thank you for informing us that Kirana Hills houses a nuclear installation, we were not aware of that. We have not targeted Kirana Hills or anything located there.” Read More

Srinagar, which had witnessed intense shelling and cross-border firing from Pakistan following India's Operation Sindoor, saw a return to normalcy on Tuesday with schools reopening after days of closure.

The move came as the ceasefire between India and Pakistan remained intact in the wake of recent talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations. The ongoing truce has brought much-needed relief to civilians in border areas, particularly in Kashmir Valley, which had been on high alert amid rising tensions.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his strong leadership, stating that under his guidance, "no enemy of Bharat goes unpunished."

He said, "The nation salutes the unmatched valour of our Armed Forces – the defenders of Bharat and the annihilators of our enemies. We also pay tribute to our first line of defence, the brave personnel of the BSF. Their courage is permanently etched in our nation's proud history. I commend Prime Minister Modi for his resolute leadership in ensuring justice for our innocent brothers who lost their lives. Time and again, he has shown that any threat to Bharat will be met with firm retaliation."

A couple from Borlangfer in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district has landed in police custody for allegedly posting anti-India and pro-Pakistan content on social media.

Late last night, police apprehended Rakib Hussain after he allegedly posted messages supporting Pakistan. On Monday, his wife, Rezia Khatun, was also arrested for sharing similar content that authorities deemed anti-national. Read More...

Army sources on Monday stated that a relatively small number of drones have been detected in the Samba sector. "They are being engaged effectively, and there is nothing to be alarmed about," officials said, adding that security forces are maintaining a high level of vigilance in the area. The situation is under control, and necessary countermeasures are in place to neutralise any aerial threats.

In a significant development following the high-stakes Operation Sindoor, the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGsMO) of India and Pakistan held crucial talks at 5:00 PM on Monday, May 12, 2025. Read More..

On the future of Indo-Pak relations, the Prime Minister was unequivocal: “Terror and talks cannot go together. The only dialogue we’re interested in is about ending terrorism and reclaiming Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.”

Citing the nation’s anguish over the Pahalgam massacre, Modi said, “It was a barbaric attempt to fracture our unity—but it had the opposite effect. It brought 1.4 billion Indians together in demand for swift justice.”

Ending his speech with a tribute to India’s armed forces, intelligence agencies, and defense scientists, he said, “Every Indian today walks taller, prouder, and more determined. Operation Sindoor has changed the rules of engagement. This is the new India—resolute, fearless, and just.”

Hailing the success of Operation Sindoor as a showcase of India’s new-age warfare capabilities, PM Modi praised the performance of indigenous defense technologies. “Made-in-India systems operated with surgical precision,” he said, adding that the mission reflects India’s growing confidence in its scientific, military, and strategic prowess.

He emphasized that unity and resolve remain the nation’s most powerful weapons. “India is changing—and those who challenge its sovereignty must beware,” he warned.

Outlining a bold, no-nonsense national security doctrine, the Prime Minister declared that India’s counter-terrorism policy would henceforth rest on three immovable pillars:

1. Decisive Retaliation: Any terror strike will be answered with overwhelming force.

2. No Tolerance for Nuclear Blackmail: Nuclear threats will not deter India from defending itself.

3. No Distinction Between Terrorists and Their Sponsors: States supporting terrorism will be treated as co-perpetrators.

Citing the public presence of senior Pakistani military officials at the funerals of slain terrorists, Modi called it “irrefutable evidence” of Islamabad’s state sponsorship of terrorism.

In response to India’s offensive, Pakistan attempted counterstrikes targeting Indian schools, religious sites, and civilian areas. But India’s advanced air defense systems successfully intercepted these provocations. “Pakistan had prepared to strike India’s borders—India struck at its core instead,” Modi said, in one of the address’s most hard-hitting lines.

Following heavy losses, Pakistan’s military reached out to India’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) on May 10, promising a halt to both terrorist activity and military aggression. India, in a calculated move, paused its counter-operations but issued a stern warning: any future provocation would be met with even more decisive force.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the success of Operation Sindoor, remarked that India's missile and drone strikes not only destroyed terror infrastructure in Pakistan but also shook the enemy’s morale. “It wasn’t just the buildings of terrorist organisations that were reduced to rubble; their courage also crumbled,” he said.

Referring to terror hubs like Bhawalpur and Muridke, the Prime Minister described them as “universities of global terrorism,” linking them to major terror attacks across the world, including 9/11 and numerous incidents in India.

Highlighting Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorism, PM Modi said, “The world has seen Pakistan’s dirty truth — when high-ranking army officials bid farewell to slain terrorists, it became the clearest evidence of state-sponsored terrorism.”

High-level military discussions between India and Pakistan concluded on Monday evening, ANI reported, citing official sources. The Director General of Military Operations (DGMO)-level talks, initially scheduled for 12 noon, were delayed following a prior exchange on Saturday.

During that earlier interaction, Pakistan’s DGMO is said to have proposed a halt to hostilities—a proposal that was later acknowledged by India’s DGMO, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, during Sunday’s joint press briefing.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the nation at around 8 PM today, in what is expected to be a significant statement amid escalating tensions along the border and the ongoing Operation Sindoor.

The announcement of the address has sparked widespread anticipation, particularly in the wake of Pakistan's violation of the ceasefire agreement merely hours after it was brokered through direct military-to-military communication. The Indian armed forces have reportedly launched strong countermeasures in response to the aggression.

While the exact subject of the Prime Minister’s address has not been officially confirmed, the timing points to possible remarks on national security, recent military developments, and India’s firm stance in the face of cross-border hostilities.

More details will follow as the situation develops.

In an emotionally charged farewell, BSF Sub-Inspector Mohammad Imtiyaz, who was martyred in Pakistani firing on Saturday, was laid to rest with full military and state honours. Alongside him, Subedar Major Pawan Kumar Jarial, Havildar Murali Nayak, and Rifleman Sunil Kumar were also accorded ceremonial farewells.

The last rites were performed in the presence of Rajouri district administrative officer Rajkumar Thapa, government representatives, and a sea of mourners who gathered to pay their final respects. The atmosphere was filled with patriotic fervour as chants of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" echoed throughout the area.

The bravehearts’ sacrifice has once again highlighted the unflinching spirit and dedication of the Indian armed forces in defending the nation's borders.

In a significant escalation of cross-border hostilities, Air Marshal A.K. Bharti confirmed that Indian air defense forces successfully intercepted a coordinated drone offensive launched by the enemy on the night of May 8 and 9. The drone swarm, involving unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), targeted multiple Indian cities in a widespread operation beginning at 10:30 PM, ranging from Srinagar to Naliya. Read More..

In the wake of ceasefire violations and reported airspace intrusions on the night of May 10–11, 2025, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has taken decisive steps to bolster India's defensive posture under Operation Sindoor.

Reviewing the overall security situation along the western borders, General Dwivedi held detailed consultations with top Army Commanders deployed in these critical sectors. Following the assessment, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) granted full operational authority to the commanders for immediate and proportionate counteraction in the kinetic domain in response to any breach of the ceasefire agreement.

This authority comes directly in reference to the understanding reached during the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) level talks held on May 10, 2025.

The move signifies India's firm stance against violations and readiness to safeguard its territorial integrity with swift and calibrated military response.

A joint media briefing will be held today at 6:30 PM by the Director General Military Operations (DGMO) representing all three branches of the Indian Armed Forces — the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

In a strong statement, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh asserted that Operation Sindoor was launched to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), emphasizing that the operation focused solely on military targets, sparing innocent civilians. He condemned Pakistan's actions, noting that Pakistan had targeted civilian areas in India, including temples, gurudwaras, and churches.

“Our Armed Forces displayed immense courage and restraint in executing the operation. They gave a befitting response by targeting numerous Pakistani military bases. Our response was not limited to the border; the indignation of our forces even reached Rawalpindi, where the Pakistani military headquarters are located,” said Rajnath Singh.

The operation highlights India's commitment to eliminating terrorism and defending its sovereignty, sending a clear message that terrorist sanctuaries will not be tolerated. Read More..

India’s defense capabilities were on full display today as Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh inaugurated the BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility Centre in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. During his address, Singh described Operation Sindoor not just as a military action, but a symbol of India’s political, social, and strategic willpower.

The operation, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, was portrayed as a demonstration of India's strong commitment to counter-terrorism. Singh emphasized that it was a clear message to those who perpetuate terrorism, asserting that even beyond India’s borders, no place would be safe for terrorists.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday chaired a high-level security meeting at his residence in the national capital to review the ongoing security situation.

The meeting was attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, and the Chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

The closed-door meeting is believed to have focused on national security and strategic matters, including the ongoing Operation Sindoor. While no official briefing has been issued so far, the presence of top defence and security officials underscores the significance of the discussions.

Further details are expected to be shared in due course.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has announced the successful execution of its assigned tasks in Operation Sindoor, reaffirming its commitment to national objectives through a display of precision, professionalism, and strategic restraint.

According to an official statement, the ongoing operation was carried out in a “deliberate and discreet manner”, aligning closely with broader national interests. Though specific details remain classified due to the sensitive nature of the mission, the IAF emphasized that all operational goals set thus far have been met effectively.

As Operation Sindoor is still in progress, the IAF stated that a comprehensive briefing will be conducted in due course. Until then, the Air Force has urged the public and media to refrain from speculation or dissemination of unverified information, which could compromise operational integrity.

More details are expected to be released following the conclusion of the ongoing phase of the operation.

In a breach of the recently announced bilateral understanding to halt all military actions, drones were spotted over multiple locations in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday night, prompting swift retaliation by Indian armed forces. The drones were intercepted and shot down using air defence systems, officials confirmed.

One such incident occurred in Srinagar’s Batwara area—near an army installation—where a drone was brought down, triggering a series of explosions that echoed through the city. The blasts, which occurred roughly 15 minutes apart, lit up the night sky with flares.

The drone activity came just hours after India publicly stated that both nations had agreed to cease all hostilities on land, sea, and air. However, central government sources late Saturday described Pakistan’s actions as a clear violation of that understanding.

Reacting to the developments, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah questioned the credibility of the "ceasefire" declaration amid the ongoing disturbances.

Following the recent ceasefire violation, Pakistan has intensified its rhetoric, placing the blame squarely on India for the escalating border tensions. In a statement, the Pakistan Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif accused India of provoking conflict, attempting to shift responsibility for the flare-up.

Meanwhile, false claims have emerged from Pakistan alleging that Indian forces launched an attack on a Pakistani army post — an assertion dismissed by Indian defense sources as baseless and misleading. The situation along the border remains tense, with both sides monitoring developments closely.

An alert Indian Army sentry posted at the Nagrota Military Station in Jammu detected suspicious movement near the perimeter and challenged the suspected intruder, resulting in a brief exchange of fire, the Army’s White Knight Corps confirmed on Saturday.

During the incident, the sentry sustained a minor injury. In response, security forces swiftly launched a search operation in the area to locate the intruder(s).

Authorities have intensified perimeter security, and further updates are awaited as the search continues.
