Operation Sindoor: PM briefs President Murmu

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday met with President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan, Delhi, to brief her on 'Operation Sindoor.' This significant operation targeted nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and took place just hours earlier.

Earlier in the day, PM Modi led a Cabinet meeting, describing the operation as a "moment of pride" for the nation. He informed the Cabinet that the mission was executed flawlessly, emphasizing "no mistakes whatsoever," and declared the retaliatory strike a "successful completion."

During the meeting, PM Modi lauded the armed forces for their "commendable job" and "immaculate execution," stating, "The whole country was looking up to us. We are proud of our army."

The military operation targeting terror camps in Pakistan and PoK commenced at 1:05 a.m. on Wednesday, May 7, and was completed in just 25 minutes. During this brief timeframe, nine terror camps and training facilities were struck using advanced weaponry, including the HAMMER bomb and the SCALP missile. These precision-guided munitions can hover over a target area to confirm before detonating.

In retaliation, Pakistan engaged in 'arbitrary and indiscriminate firing' and artillery shelling across the Line of Control (LoC), resulting in the tragic deaths of at least three civilians in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.

Operation Sindoor was launched in the aftermath of a horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 civilians lost their lives.
