Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced that Operation Sindoor is ongoing, vowing retaliation for any Pakistani aggression following India’s strike on terror bases across the border. India continued Operation Sindoor, responding to Pakistan’s ceasefire violations with proportionate force. India armed forces destroyed nine terror bases across Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) a day earlier in which “at least 100 terrorists were killed”.

The defence ministry said the Indian armed forces neutralised the threat with the Integrated Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (Grid and Air Defence systems)

Al-Qaeda’s alarm over Operation Sindoor is rooted in its long-standing ties with the terror groups Indian airstrikes targeted
