The Indo-Pak hostilities were triggered after Pakistan launched drones and missiles after India's Operation Sindoor military strikes, which was in response to the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians.
The attack’s responsibility was claimed by The Resistance Front, an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba. India successfully executed Operation Sindoor on May 7.
During the briefing, Ghai said, “Operation Sindoor was conceptualised with military aim to punish perpetrators of terror and destroy terror infrastructure. It has displayed India's intolerance to terrorism. With presicion, terror sites were identified and we found that the locations were numerous. We realised that some had been vacated fearing retribution. We targeted only terrorists and avoided any collateral damage. These site included nefarious places which over years created terror outfits. The images of these strikes have already been showcased and there is no doubt that we achieved a total surprise.”
“The line of control was violated soon after by Pakistan and the rattled response of our enemy was apparent from the number of civilians, villages and Gurudwaras that were unfortunately hit by them, leading to loss of lives. IAF and Navy played a major part in this strike,” he added.
