The Indian Air Force (IAF) identified nine targets in Pakistan after a careful deliberation under Operation Sindoor, and launched strikes, Air Marshal AK Bharti.
India did not target Pakistani military installations or civilians, he said.
Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) from the Army, Air Force and Navy gave a day-by-day account of how Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 Indian civilians on April 22, panned out.
What Rajnath Singh said
Earlier in the day, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said Indian armed forces not only struck Pakistani military bases near the border but their might was even felt in Rawalpindi where the headquarters of the Pakistani Army is located. This came a day after India agreed to a conditional ceasefire with Pakistan, which the latter violated later in the evening.
Singh’s comment came as several media reports suggested that India may have used, for the first time ever, its mighty supersonic BrahMos missile on Pakistan. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister added fuel to the speculation by saying at an event that people had “seen a glimpse of the valour of the BrahMos missile during Operation Sindoor”. “And if the glimpse was not visible, then ask Pakistanis about the strength of the missile,” he added.
On Sunday, India’s border with Pakistan along Jammu and Kashmir bore a semblance of normalcy as no cross-border shelling, sound of aircraft, missiles, or drones flying overhead were reported on Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Pak violates ceasefire deal
Pakistan on Saturday night violated the bilateral understanding reached in the afternoon to immediately stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea.
This came hours after India announced the understanding following four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes that brought the two countries teetering on the edge of full-scale war.
