Operation Sindoor: Over 80 Terrorists Killed in High-Level Indian Military Operation
On May 6, 2025, India conducted a major military operation, Operation Sindoor, aimed at destroying terrorist camps and training facilities in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The operation was launched in retaliation for the terrorist attack on April 22, 2025, which resulted in the deaths of 26 Hindu tourists in Jammu and Kashmir. Indian authorities reported that the operation successfully eliminated over 80 terrorists linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), two groups known for carrying out attacks against India.
The operation was executed with precision, targeting the core infrastructure of these terrorist groups that have long posed a significant threat to India’s national security. While the Indian government has confirmed the success of the mission, they have yet to disclose specific details, such as the identities of those killed or the exact locations that were struck.
In contrast, Pakistan’s military refuted claims of significant casualties, alleging that civilian deaths occurred due to Indian airstrikes. Pakistan reported eight civilian fatalities and multiple injuries, although these figures have been challenged by Indian sources.
The operation has sparked global concern, with both India and Pakistan—nuclear-armed neighbors—on high alert. International leaders, including those from the United States and the United Nations, have urged both nations to exercise restraint to avoid further escalation, stressing the danger of a larger conflict in the region.
Operation Sindoor highlights India’s unwavering resolve in the fight against terrorism and its readiness to take bold actions to safeguard its citizens and borders. The name “Sindoor,” symbolizing courage and sacrifice, emphasizes India’s strong stand against terrorism.
