Mission sindoor: On May 7

On May 7, 2025, the Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan. Put in a broader context, Operation Sindoor signals a shift in India’s counter-terror doctrine. Operation SINDOOR has reshaped both the geopolitical and strategic landscape of South Asia. It was not merely a military campaign, but a multidimensional assertion of India’s sovereignty, resolve, and global standing. It took just 23 minutes for the Indian Air Force to bypass and jam Pakistan's Chinese-supplied air defence systems during Operation Sindoor , launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people. Operation Sindoor was executed as a tri-services mission , leveraging the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy, with a focus on intelligence-driven targeting and technological superiority.
