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.

Ask Pakistanis about strength of BrahMos missile: Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said a glimpse of the power of the BrahMos missile was seen during Operation Sindoor and if that was not enough, one should ask Pakistanis about it.
He also said the time had come to deal a crushing blow to terrorism and to achieve it, the entire country has to unite under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the BrahMos Aerospace Integration and Testing Facility in Lucknow, Adityanath said, “What is the BrahMos missile? You have 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.”
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared that any incident of terror will be considered a war. And until we completely crush terrorism, there will be no solution to this problem. The time has come to crush it and for this, entire India, in one voice, has to unite under Modi's leadership,” he added.
The BJP leader said terrorism is a “dog’s tail” that can never be straightened. “Terrorism will not follow the language of love. We have to give a reply to it in its own language. And in this direction, India has given a message to the world through Operation Sindoor.”

In the video, insulting comments were made on Operation Sindoor carried out against Pakistan. Comments were also made against the BJP, due to which there is anger among the people.

Congress: India-Pakistan issue is a bilateral issue; has Govt of India accepted US intervention?
Congress leader Sachin Pilot held a media briefing on Sunday. Here are some key excerpts:
- Pahalgam attack was on the soul of India. A strong answer to that was necessary.
- Our armed forces are second to none.
- There should be a special session of the Parliament to discuss the recent India-Pakistan skirmish.
- Has the Indian government accepted the US mediation? This kind of intervention is unprecedented.
- We should reiterate 1994 resolution and assert that India-Pakistan issue is a bilateral issue and there should not be any internationalisation of that. No third-party intervention from any country, including the US, should not be tolerated.
- We supported the government completely on the latest India-Pakistan skirmish.
- There should be another all-party meeting and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should attend and take the entire country into confidence.
- He should let us know what the conditions of the ceasefire were. Can we trust Pakistan, especially in view of yesterday’s truce violation?
Pilot also offered condolences to the families of the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and all those who lost their lives in the recent skirmish.
