What is Operation Sindhoor?
India’s targeted military strikes under Operation Sindoor hit nine high-value terror infrastructure sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including the hideouts of top terror masterminds Maulana Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed.
The operation comes in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack on May 22, where at least 26 lives were lost.
