In the wake of India’s high-impact cross-border operation targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the Indian Army is set to address the nation today at 10:30 AM to share critical updates on Operation Sindoor—India’s most significant retaliatory strike since the 2019 Balakot airstrikes.
What is Operation Sindoor?
Launched in the early hours of May 7, 2025, Operation Sindoor involved precision air and ground strikes by the Indian Air Force, missile units, and special forces. The coordinated assault hit nine key terror hubs, including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed infrastructure in Muridke, Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, and Kotli.
The operation was India’s direct response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, where 28 civilians, mostly Hindu tourists, were killed. Intelligence reports attributed the attack to Pakistan-based handlers linked to proscribed terror groups.
What to expect in today’s 10:30 AM press conference?
Led by senior officials from the Indian Army and Air Force, possibly including the Chief of Defence Staff and IAF Chief, the press conference will likely address:
-
Strategic and tactical objectives of Operation Sindoor
-
Assessment of damage inflicted on terror infrastructure
-
Civilian impact, if any
-
India’s future military posture along the LoC
-
A message to Pakistan and international stakeholders
Global reactions
The United States, Russia, France, and the United Nations have called for restraint, while reaffirming India’s right to self-defence. Today’s briefing is expected to serve as a pivotal moment for both domestic reassurance and global signalling on India’s calibrated, strategic response to terror.
Stay tuned for more updates following the official briefing.
