Operation Sindoor was India's decisive and powerful response to persistent cross-border terrorism, specifically triggered by the devastating April 22, 2025 Pahalgam attack. Executed on May 6-7, 2025, it was India's deepest military action since 1971, employing advanced weapons like drones and precision missiles to target nine major terror infrastructure sites, including headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and Hizbul Mujahideen, deep within Pakistan and PoK. This operation, which also involved non-military actions like suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, signifies a "new normal" in India's counter-terrorism policy, demonstrating a firm resolve to hold terror patrons accountable and impose significant costs.
