On the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, NDTV’s Left, Right & Centre revisits India’s high-impact military response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. Launched in the early hours after the attack, Operation Sindoor saw Indian armed forces carry out precision strikes on terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Over nearly 88 hours, Indian missiles and fighter jets targeted Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba launchpads in a coordinated offensive that showcased India’s evolving military capability and strategic doctrine. The operation ultimately pushed Pakistan towards a ceasefire as Indian forces maintained the upper hand during the escalation.
