India-Pakistan Updates: At DGMO level meeting, India, Pakistan agree not to initiate any aggressive action

On ceasefire between India-Pakistan, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Standing Committee Member of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, says, "Stability in South Asia is very important. It's globally important, but important especially in south Asia for our mutual benefit and interests. Stability should get the top priority for countries in South Asia to prosper and lift people out of poverty... War is the last thing anyone in South Asia wants."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday made it clear that Operation Sindoor has carved out a benchmark in India's fight against terrorism and has "set up a new parameter and new normal".

IndiGo Airlines announced the cancellation of its flight operations to and from Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Leh, Srinagar, and Rajkot airports for Tuesday amid conflicting situations between India and Pakistan. In a statement posted on X, Indigo said, "In light of the latest developments and with your safety as our utmost priority, flights to and from Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Leh, Srinagar, and Rajkot are cancelled for 13th May 2025.

Following the news of talks between Director Generals of Military Operations, mutual commitment from both sides that we must not fire a single shot or initiate any aggressive and inimical action against each other is being adhered to: Sources 

No enemy drones are being reported at present. The situation is calm and under full control: Indian Army  

CM Yogi praises PM Modi’s address, calling Operation Sindoor a powerful stand against terrorism and a commitment to protect women’s honour.

CM Fadnavis says PM Modi’s address on Operation Sindoor asserted a firm stance on PoK, ruled out talks with terror, and highlighted Pakistan’s surrender after India’s decisive action.

Amit Shah lauds the valour of India's armed forces and BSF, and praises PM Modi's leadership in delivering justice to the nation's enemies.

"The brave hearts of the Indian Armed Forces successfully achieved their target. We have struck hard and deep into the terror training camps in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan...PM Modi has clarified that Operation Sindoor is suspended, not stopped...The Prime Minister has clarified that terror and talks cannot go together...If Pakistan refrains from supporting terrorism, that will be good for Pakistan. Otherwise, a day will come when Pakistan will be eliminated from the world map. A day will come when Pakistan will be decimated into dust," 

"In my last 34 years of service, I have never heard a more powerful speech than this by any Prime Minister... He made it clear that Operation Sindoor has only been halted. He also said that we will not tolerate nuclear blackmail from Pakistan," said former J&K DGP SP Vaid.

"You will hear a siren. We are on alert and initiating the blackout. Please switch off your lights and move away from your windows. Stay calm, we will inform when ready to restore the power supply. Don't panic at all. This is by way of abundant caution," said DC Amritsar.

"Many handlers of terrorists were openly roaming around in Pakistan for the last two and a half decades and were conspiring against India. India finished them at once. Pakistan was in depression and rattled at the same time, and he made the second mistake - instead of cooperating with India, it chose to attack us," said Modi.

"The terrorists removed the 'sindoor' of our sisters. That's why India annihilated the terror headquarters. More than 100 dreaded terrorists were slaughtered in Indian attack. Terrorists who were openly conspiring against India were openly roaming in Pakistan, but India slaughtered them in just one go. India's actions were a huge setback for Pakistan," said Modi.

"Terror aur trade ek sath nahi chal sakte, paani aur khoon bhi ek sath nahi bah sakte," said Modi during his address.

"The way Pakistan military and the government there are helping terrorism flourish there, it will end Pakistan one day. If Pakistan want to be spared, it has to abolish the terror infrastructure," Modi said.

"Today is Buddha Purnima, lord Buddha showed us the path of peace. 'Shaanti ka maarg bhi Shakti see hokar jata hai'," said Modi.

"If there will be talks between India and Pakistan, it will only be on terrorism and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK)...India's stand has been clear, terror, trade and talks cannot be done together," said Modi.

"The world has seen that dirty truth of Pakistan when the high-ranked officers of the Army bid the slain terrorists adieu. There cannot be a bigger proof of state-sponsored terrorism," said Modi.

"No nuclear blackmail will be tolerated anymore. Terrorist attack on India will have to face a befitting reply, and the response will be on our terms," said Modi.

"The terrorists removed the 'sindoor' of our sisters. That's why India annihilated the terror headquarters. More than 100 dreaded terrorists were slaughtered in Indian attack. Terrorists who were openly conspiring against India were openly roaming in Pakistan, but India slaughtered them in just one go. India's actions were a huge setback for Pakistan," said Modi.

"Operation Sindoor is not just a name. It is a reflection of the feelings of millions of people in the country. Operation Sindoor is an unbroken pledge of justice. Late night of 6 May and morning of 7 May, the whole world has seen this pledge turning into results," said Modi.

"Indian armed forces attacked the terrorist sites in Pakistan. Terrorists wouldn't have dreamed that India would take such big steps... When Indian missiles and drones attacked those sites in Pakistan, it was not just the buildings of the terrorists, but their courage was thrashed," said PM Modi.

"Today, I dedicate this valour, bravery, courage (of armed forces) to every mother of our country, to every sister of the country and to every daughter of the country," said Modi.

"We gave full freedom to the Indian army to wipe out the terrorists and today every terrorist, every terror organisation knows 'ki hamari bekano, betiyo ke maathe se Sindoor hatane ka anjaam kya hota hai," said Modi.

On 22 April, in Pahalgam, the barbarism that terrorists have shown have shaken the country and the world. Those innocent people who were celebrating the leaves were killed in front of their families, after being asked about their religion

PM Narendra Modi has saluted the Indian Armed Forces and other agencies for Operation Sindoor. "We have seen the country's capabilities and self-restraint in the last few days. First of all, I would like to salute our armed forces, intelligence and our scientists on behalf of every citizen," says PM Modi.

PM Modi will be addressing the nation shortly from now. This will be his first public address since the Operation Sindoor.

"We're going to do a lot of trade with Pakistan. We're going to do a lot of trade with India. We're negotiating with India right now. We're going to be soon negotiated with Pakistan," says Trump.

"We stopped a nuclear conflict. I think it could have been a bad nuclear war. Millions of people could have been killed. I also want to thank VP JD Vance and Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, for their work," claims Trump.

"I'm very proud to let you know that the leadership of Indian and Pakistan was unwavering and powerful, but unwavering in both cases - they really were from the standpoint of having the strength and the wisdom and fortitude to fully know and to understand the gravity of the situation. And we helped a lot, and we also helped with trade. I said. Come on, we're going to do a lot of trade with you guys. Let's stop it, let's stop it. If you stop it, we're doing trade. If you don't stop it, we're not going to do any trade. People have never really used trade the way I used it. By that, I can tell you, and all of a sudden they said. I think we're gonna stop, and they have," claims Trump.

"Operation Sindoor is not over yet. There is a pause now... They (Indian Army) have put forth their side, they have presented the facts. India's air defence system has proved that it is invincible. Pakistan tried its best to attack from its side... but they failed," said BJP leader RP Singh. 

"This is a border area...80 per cent of people living in border areas have vacated their homes and moved to safer places...there is a lot of fear here...the state government should provide financial help to the affected people," said J&K People's Conference chief Sajad Lone from Kupwara.

The Education Department has decided to reopen the non-border districts' educational institutions after reviewing the current situation. Border districts will continue the closure of educational institutions: Divisional Commissioner Jammu said.

"Whenever things like this happen - be it GST, demonetisation or other important things, PM Modi addresses the nation. PM Modi is addressing the nation after a tough time, and he will talk in very detail... He will speak in the national interest, boosting the country's morale," said former J&K CM & BJP leader Kavinder Gupta.

As per sources, the talks between the DGMOs of India and Pakistan have been completed for today. The talks were deferred from 12 noon and were held this evening. Sources tell, DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai and Pak DGMO Major Gen Kashif Abdullah.

As per the latest visuals are from Reasi's Salal Dam, built on the Chenab River, one gate of the dam is seen open.

"The press briefing by our armed forces was so apt... The words they chose were so pinpointed, just the precision with which they targeted terror hotbeds in Pakistan. I take pride in Hind ki Sena. But, we reiterate our demand that the government call a parliament session. This is important to extend our gratitude to the armed forces and also to get more clarity about all the chain of events since the Pahalgam terror attack to the ceasefire which the US President announced," said Congress MP Deepender Hooda.

DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai also highlighted that India did not cross the LoC or the International border. The defence was executed from within our territory. On May 9-10, a multi-layered air defence grid effectively countered Pakistan's drone attack. The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) drones couldn’t breach this defence grid, while some drones were taken down by shoulder-fired weapons. Pakistan's Unarmed aerial systems (UAS) were also neutralized.

"Indian Armed Forces gave a befitting reply and brought Pakistan to its knees. Pakistan requested the ceasefire," said Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami.

"Effectively using multiple sensors and inputs, we are maintaining continuous surveillance to degrade or neutralise threats as they emerge or manifest to ensure targeting at extended ranges. All these are conducted under the umbrella of a comprehensive and effective layered fleet air defence mechanism that caters for all threats, be it drones, high-speed missiles or aircraft, both fighters as well as surveillance aircraft," said Vice Admiral AN Pramod.

"Whatever loss they suffered, it was their own responsibility": Air Marshal Bharti details response to Pak aggression," said Air Marshal AK Bharti. The Marshal said that India's war was against terrorism and it was 'pity' that the Pakistan military intervened and backed the terrorists. The loss is Pakistan's own responsibility.

"I am here only to offer my condolences, sympathies and the support of my administration. Nobody has made any demands or said anything. This has been a tragic time for their families. It is our duty as individuals, more than anything else, to try to sympathise with them in this time of need...War is never fair," Omar Abdullah said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing the nation today at 8 PM amidst the tensions between India and Pakistan. Both countries have agreed to an understanding and have stopped firing and military action after tensions escalated.

The Indian Armed Forces show the debris of a likely PL-15 air-to-air missile, which is of Chinese-origin missile, and was used by Pakistan during the attack on India. The Forces also show the wreckage of the Turkish-origin YIHA and Songar drones that were shot down by India.

The Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) level meeting between India and Pakistan is expected to take place around 5 PM, after it was postponed from its earlier time pf 12 noon.

Air Marshal AK Bharti stated, "Our battle-proven systems have stood the test of time and are fully capable of confronting any challenge. A key highlight has been the exceptional performance of the indigenous Akash air defence system. Establishing and operationalising such a formidable air defence environment has been possible solely due to the budgetary and policy support provided by the Government of India."

Air Marshal Ak Bharti quoted national poet Ramdhari Dinkar's lines - "bhay bin hoye na preet" (there is no love without fear) in response to a question on Pakistan's escalation.

DGMo Rajiv Ghai said in the last few years, the character of terrorist activities have changed. Innocent civilians were being attacked.. 'Pahalgam tak paap ka ye ghada bhar chuka tha' (the pot of sin had filled up to brim and set for toppling).

India's airfields are fully operational, ensuring uninterrupted defence preparedness across the country. In a strong show of vigilance and capability, all Pakistani drones attempting to breach Indian airspace have been successfully shot down, reaffirming the country's robust air security.

Here's a look at the targets engaged by the Indian Air Force in Pakistan

"We also reiterated that our fight was with terrorists and their support infrastructure and not with Pakistan military. However, it is a pity that the Pakistan military chose to intervene and bat for the terrorists which compelled us to respond in kind," says DG Air Operations Air Marshal AK Bharti.

Our fight was against terrorists: Air Marshal AK Bharti said on Operation Sindoor, adding that Pakistani forces chose to support the terrorists and made it their fight.

He also added that India's air defence system stood strong as a wall and thwarted the enemy's drones, missiles and fighter jets.

Pakistani army supported terrorists and made it their own fight: Air Marshal AK Bharti says while briefing media on India's Operation Sindoor against terrorist launch pads in Pakistan and PoK.

The DGMO (Director General of Military Operations) of India will hold a media briefing at 2:30 PM to address recent developments related to the India-Pakistan ceasefire. 

The much-awaited director general of military operations (DGMO)  of India and Pakistan, scheduled for 12 noon, has now been postponed to Monday evening. The talks are to be held to decide the future course of action of the ceasefire announced on Saturday.

Indian airspace has now fully reopened for commercial flights, with NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) related to the closure of 32 airports officially withdrawn. The Indian Air Force (IAF) directed the cancellations, signalling a complete return to normal aviation operations across all previously restricted zones. The move is expected to ease air traffic congestion and provide relief to both domestic and international airlines.

Braveheart Constable (GD) Deepak Chingakham of the 07 Battalion BSF was martyred in the line of duty on 11 May 2025 after sustaining fatal injuries during cross-border firing along the International Boundary in the R S Pura area of District Jammu on 10 May. A wreath-laying ceremony with full force honours was held in his memory at Frontier Headquarters, Jammu, Paloura, at 1230 hours on 12 May 2025.

The district administration of Baramulla has permitted the return of evacuees to six villages after the safe disposal of unexploded ordnances (UXOs) in Uri sector of Baramulla. 7 UXOs have been successfully neutralized in the villages of Kamalkote, Madhan, Gowhallan, Salamabad (Bijhama), Gangerhill, and Gawalta. 

The clearance comes after sustained efforts by security agencies to sanitize the region following recent escalations along the Line of Control.

After the Pahalgam terror attack, the PM has promised that we will avenge the death of 26 people. The PM said that the revenge would be beyond the enemy's imagination, and so it was, Patra said.

He had also said "mitti mein milayenge" and "ghus ke maarenge"; that is what we did. PM Modi's decision and the bravery of our Armed Forces ensured terror sites are reduced to rubble...From 22nd April till 7th May, there was an atmosphere of tension in the country; there was a demand for immediate action.

Despite surgical strikes in the past, Pakistan could not guess when it would be struck, the BJP MMP added.

BJP MP and spokesperson Sambit Patra on Monday hailed the Indian Armed Forces and expressed gratitude for the success of Operation Sindoor against terror launch pads in Pakistan and PoK.

"Today, the BJP, its party workers and the citizens of the country thank the Security Forces because of whom the Operation Sindoor has been successful," he said in a press conference.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has also joined the high-level meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi is holding with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, CDS Anil Chauhan and the chiefs of Army, Air Force and the Navy.

The meeting comes just an hour before the India-Pakistan DGMO-level talks on the ceasefire.

Ahead of the India-Pakistan DGMO-level talks on the ceasefire today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is holding a key meeting with National Seucity Adviser Ajit Doval, CDA Anil Chauhan and the chiefs of Army, Navy and Air Force at his residence.

The DGMO talks between India and Pakistan to decide the future of the ceasefire will take place at noon.

A media briefing on Operation Sindoor will be conducted today by the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) along with equivalent representatives from the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. The briefing is scheduled for 2:30 PM at the National Media Centre.

A resident of Pathankot remarked, "Since this understanding was reached, the situation has gradually improved, markets are reopening… we hope this continues. War is not the answer."

In a major announcement, Director General of Military Operations, Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, revealed that over 100 terrorists — including several high-value targets — were eliminated in precision strikes carried out on May 7.

He further emphasised the scale of Operation Sindoor, noting that nine terror camps were identified through detailed intelligence and destroyed using precision-guided weapons.

Pakistan's military late Sunday night admitted that at least one of its aircraft suffered ôminor damageö in the military confrontation with India, without giving more information about the jet. India and Pakistan on Saturday reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea, with immediate effect.

Lieutenant General Rajeev Ghai, Director General Military Operations, announced that a DGMO-level discussion with Pakistan is scheduled for Monday at 12 noon.

Despite the agreement between India and Pakistan to halt all hostilities across land, air, and sea on Saturday, Pakistan carried out several ceasefire violations just hours later. Drones were spotted in various areas of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday night, accompanied by the sound of explosions.

Pakistan’s military late on Sunday night admitted that at least one of its aircraft suffered “minor damage” in the military confrontation with India, without giving more information about the jet.

A Pakistani missile that fell in an agricultural field in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan early Saturday morning was successfully defused by security forces without any casualties or damage to property. The unexploded missile was discovered by locals, who immediately alerted the authorities.

Pakistan realised that India meant business after its eight air bases were destroyed, and "sued for peace" by seeking a cessation of hostilities, government sources said on Sunday.

Pakistan Army spokesman Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said no Indian pilot was in the custody of Pakistan and all such reports were based on 'fake social media reports'.

India inflicted tremendous losses to the Pakistan military, including downing a few of its fighter jets featuring latest technologies and damaging key military installations close to even capital Islamabad, during the three-day confrontation between the two sides, the Indian armed forces said on Sunday.

While India has eliminated over 100 Pak terrorists, Assam continues to crackdown on their sympathisers, said Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

A number of senior BJP leaders, including Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah and JP Nadda, held consultations on Sunday in what is seen as part of the ruling party's deliberations over the political import and its strategy to reach out to people following India targeting Pakistan as part of Operation Sindoor.

"The way the Indian government took many historic and strong decisions after the Pahalgam incident, whether it was the matter of suspending the Indus Water Treaty, cancelling the visas of Pakistani citizens, closing the borders and the way Operation Sindoor was carried out, it was a great victory for India and for the Indian army. When they went 100 km inside Pakistan, destroyed 9 terrorist hideouts, demolished their training center and as it is being told that about 100 terrorists were killed, Operation Sindoor sent a message to the whole world that what is the importance of 'sindoor' in India, what is the value of 'sindoor' and India can go to any extent to eliminate terrorists," Chhattisgarh Deputy CM Arun Sao said.

Retired IAS Raghvendra Singh says, "Yesterday, the DGMO of Pakistan rang up his counterpart in India to suggest there should be ceasing of hostilities and we gave our concurrence to it and that is how the ceasefire came in... We have not actually succumbed to the American pressure... Back in 1948, when the wound of Kashmir was inflicted, American pressure was 30 times more, while now the US President seems to just take credit... We have achieved what we wanted to achieve... The Indian diplomatic establishments have been perfect... They did not exaggerate a bit."

"After the Pahalgam incident, terrorists had to be taught a lesson... The whole world has seen the valour and courage of our army. We feel that now terrorists from Pakistan will stop coming to India because Prime Minister Modi has made it clear that if a terrorist incident takes place here, we will treat it as a war," BJP MP Jagdambika Pal said

"The Prime Minister did very well by giving the armed forces a free hand... The armed forces acted professionally with restraint and maturity," said Senior Congress leader Dr Karan Singh

"Received a call from Egypt FM Dr. Badr Abdelatty. Apprised him of recent developments and emphasised the importance of zero tolerance for terrorism in all forms and manifestations. Discussed economic cooperation prospects between India and Egypt," Jaishankar posts on X.

Blackout is being observed in Barmer and Jaisalmer as a precaution. Sirens heard in Barmer amidst blackout as precaution.

"We have the capability to target every system at Pakistan's bases," Air Marshal AK Bharti said.

"The activities that have been going on for the last 3-4 days are no less than a war. Under normal circumstances, the air forces of each other's countries do not fly in the air and attack each other...Under normal circumstances, infiltration across the Line of Control is done by terrorists. We have information that the Pakistani army may also be involved in infiltration across the Line of Control, which is trying to harm our posts," said DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai.

Air Marshal AK Bharti presented a detailed video showcasing the impact of India’s air operations on key Pakistani military sites, including the Pasrur, Chunian, and Arifwala Air Defence Radars, as well as the Sargodha, Rahim Yar Khan, Chaklala (Nur Khan), Sukkur, Bholari, and Jacobabad airfields - all targeted during Operation Sindoor.

"The Indian Navy maintained seamless maritime domain awareness through the duration and was entirely aware of the location and movement of Pakistani units. In effect, we had and continue to have good battle space transparency using our maritime domain awareness grid. As you are aware, our response has been measured, proportionate, non-escalatory, and responsible from day one. Accordingly, the calibrated approach considered all options, including the ability of the Indian Navy for offensive action from and at sea. As part of this escalation control mechanism, the application of force by the navy was planned in a synchronised manner in coordination with the army and air force. The highlight being, the three services working closely in an integrated manner," 

On the question of India shooting down Pakistani aircraft, Air Marshal AK Bharti says, "As I said, their planes were prevented from coming inside our border. So, we don't have wreckage with us, but definitely, we have downed a few Pakistani planes; numbers, we would not like to hazard a guess out here, I have the numbers and we are getting into technical details to establish it. So, I would like to put a figure at this time."

"This time if Pakistan dares to take any action, Pakistan knows what we are going to do," said Vice Admiral AN Pramod.

"A decision was taken to strike where it would hurt and towards that in a swift, coordinated, calibrated attack, we stuck its Air bases, command centers, military infrastructure, air defence systems across the entire Western Front. The bases we stuck includes Chaklala, Rafiq, Rahim Yar Khan sending a clear message that aggression will not be tolerated. This was followed by strikes at Sargodha, Bhulari, and Jacobabad...We have the capability to target every system at these bases and more," said Air Marshal AK Bharti.

"Whatever methods and whatever means we have chosen, it had the desired effects on the enemy targets. How many casualties? How many injuries? Our aim was not to inflict casualties, but in case there have been, it is for them to count. Our job is to hit the target, not to count the body bags," Air Marshal AK Bharti

"My communication with the Pak DGMO was conducted at 15:35 hrs yesterday and resulted in cessation of cross-border firing and air intrusions by either side with effect from 17:00 hrs, 10th of May, after he proposed that we cease hostilities. We also decided to further speak on the 12th of May at 12:00 hrs to discuss the modalities that would enable the longevity of this understanding. However, disappointingly, expectedly it took only a couple of hours for Pakistan Army to violate these arrangements by cross border and across Line of Control firing followed by drone intrusions through last night and in the early hours of today. These violations were responded to robustly...We have earlier today sent another hotline message to my counterpart highlighting these violations of the understanding between the DGMOs on 10th of May and our firm and clear intent to respond to these fiercely if repeated tonight, subsequently or later...The Chief of Army Staff has granted full authority to our army commander for counteraction in case of any violation by Pakistan," said DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai.

"Our aim on the 7th of May was to target terrorists and their infrastructure, not any other infrastructure, especially not Pakistani civilian or military establishments, and we achieved this with precision. However, on the evening of 7th May, we were subjected to a wave of Pakistani unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and small drones, which targeted both our civilian and military areas. They were successfully intercepted. While three drones managed to land, they caused minimal damage. The key difference here is that we targeted terrorist, whereas the Pakistani response focused on our civilians and military infrastructure — a move that demands a response. In retaliation, we struck radar installations near Lahore and close to Gujranwala. Yet, we want to emphasise that escalation is not our goal. Our conflict is with terrorists, not with the Pakistani military establishment," said Air Marshal A.K. Bharti.

"Around 2000 hours on May 8, several Pakistani unmanned aerial systems — including drones and combat aerial vehicles — launched simultaneous attacks on multiple Indian Air Force bases...The attacks came in waves, but all our air defence guns and systems were fully prepared. Our trained crews responded swiftly, using both modern and legacy systems like the Pechora missiles. As a result, there was no damage on the ground from these incursions," Air Marshal AK Bharti said.

"On May 10, in the morning, even as we were getting into a huddle to wargame the events of the previous night, I received a message on hotline from my counterpart in Pakistan, seeking my willingness to communicate. Since our initial aim was to strike at terror camps and all our actions in the subsequent days were in response to the intrusions and violations by the Pakistan air force and its army, it was decided that I would indeed speak with my counterpart. My communication with the Pakistan DGMO was conducted at 1535 hours yesterday and resulted in cessation of cross border firing and air intrusions by either sides with effect from 1700 hours on May 10," DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said.

"In the aftermath of the cowardly on innocent tourist at Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, by Pakistani sponsored terrorists on April 22. The Navy's Carrier Battle Group (CBG), surface forces, submarines, and aviation assets were immediately deployed at sea with full combat readiness in consort with the joint operation plan of the Indian Defence Forces," Vice Admiral AN Pramod said.

"On land, we undertook several measures such deployment of air defence and electronic warfare assets to establish an integrated grid with the IAF. We also carried out deployment to include movement of our forces in the land, sea and air domains. The night of May 9 and 10 saw similar intrusions by drones and aircraft, and this time there was an effort to target airfields and some very, very important logistic installations. We further strengthened our deployment and also initiated some pressure points to send a very clear message to the other side to desist any misadventures on land," DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said.

"As the DGMO has already outlined, the operation was triggered by the deplorable act in Pahalgam. The sequence of events has been shared in detail. Of the nine designated targets, the Indian Air Force was assigned the notorious terrorist training camps in Bahawalpur and Muridke, both located deeper within Pakistani territory. After thorough target system analysis, we executed precision strikes using air-to-surface guided munitions to ensure effective engagement and minimal collateral damage," 

"On the night of 8th and 9th, starting as early as 22:30 hours, our cities had a mass raid of drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, starting right from Srinagar going right up to Naliya...We were prepared and our air defence preparedness ensured that there was no damage on the ground or to any of the intended targets that the enemy had planned for...In a measured and calibrated response, we once again targeted the military installations, surveillance radar sites at Lahore and Gujranwala...Drone attacks continued till morning which we countered. While the drone attacks were being launched from somewhere closer to Lahore, the enemy had allowed their civilian aircraft also to continue to fly out of Lahore, not only their own aircafts but also international passenger aircaft which is quite insensitive and we had to exercise extreme caution," Air Marshal AK Bharti said.

"On the night of 9-10 May, they (Pakistan) flew drones and aircraft into our airspace all across the borders and made largely unsuccessful attempts to target numerous military infrastructure. Violations on the LoC by Pakistan also commenced yet again and precipitated into fierce arty engagements," DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said.

"Being well aware and familiar with the congenital and impulsive nature of our advisory and even though we did attempt to reach out and communicate our compulsions at the heart of terror, to my counterpart in the immediate wake of 'Operation Sindoor', the request was briskly turned down with an intimation that a severe response was inevitable and in the offing. We were, of course, prepared. On the night of May 8 and 9, they (Pakistan) flew drones and aircraft into our airspace all across the border," Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said.

"Those strikes across those nine terror hubs left more than 100 terrorists killed, including high value targets such as Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf and Mudasir Ahmed that were involved in the hijack of IC814 and the Pulwama blast. The line of control was also violated soon after by Pakistan and the erratic and rattled response of our enemy was apparent from the number of civilians, inhabited villages and religious sites such as Gurudwaras that were unfortunately hit by them, leading to a sad loss of lives. The Indian Air Force played a major part in these strikes by engaging some of these camps and the Indian Navy provided wherewithal in terms of precision munitions. The Indian Air Force had their assets up in the sky," DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said.

"It set into motion a very diligent and microscopic scarring of the terror landscape across the borders and the identification of terror camps and training sites. The locations that emerged were numerous, but as we deliberated more, we realised that some of these terror hubs were now bereft of presence and had preemptively been vacated, fearing retribution from us...There was also a term of reference and our own binding self imposed restriction to target only terrorists and thus prevent collateral damage. There were nine camps that you are now all familiar with which were confirmed by our various intelligence agencies to be inhabited. Some of these were in PoJK, while there were others that were located in the Punjab Province in Pakistan. Nefarious places such as Muridke, the hub center of the Lashkar-e-Taiba has over the years bred infamous characters such as Ajmal Kasab and the likes of David Headley

'Operation Sindoor' was conceptualised with a clear military aim to punish the perpetrators and planners of terror and to destroy their terror infrastructure. What I do not state of course is the often-stated determination of India and its intolerance to terror," DGMO Lt Gen Ghai says.

Nine terror targets were identified after careful deliberation under Operation Sindoor. More than 100 terrorists killed in nine terror targets on early May 7 operation: DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai

DGMO Rajiv Ghai says, "You are all by now familiar with the brutality and manner in which 26 lives were prematurely were terminated in Pahalgam. When you combine those horrific scene and the pain that family underwent with numerous other recent terrorist strikes on our armed forces and defenceless civilians, we knew the time has arrived to make yet another compelling statement of our resolve as a nation."

The Army, IAF and Navy's joint briefing is now underway.

"By destroying the terrorists and their sites, the Indian Armed Forces have given a befitting reply...The opposition should not do politics over it as this issue is related to national security...There is a need for unity over the issue of national security...The entire nation supports the armed forces and PM Modi," Keshav Prasad Maurya said.
