What is Operation Sindoor?

In the wee hours of Wednesday, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, wherein they targetted and struck nine terror launch pads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), to avenge the horrifying terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, that killed 26 people.

"We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable," the official statement by the Government of India read.
