Measured Response, Powerful Message
India emphasized that the strikes were “focused, measured and non-escalatory”, targeting only known terror infrastructure. No Pakistani military sites were struck, and the government reiterated that the action was a response to terrorism, not an act of aggression.

“We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable,” read India’s official statement.
Ongoing Tensions and Escalation
Hours after the strike, Pakistan retaliated with artillery shelling across the Line of Control, killing three Indian civilians. Indian defence sources indicated that the Operation may have further phases, depending on Pakistan’s actions.
As soldiers stand on high alert, the outpouring from the film industry reflects a nation united in grief, pride, and resolve — qualities that Operation Sindoor now symbolizes.
