India Launches Precision Strikes in PoK; Rajnath Singh Commends Armed Forces
New Delhi, May 8: India conducted precision military strikes against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7, in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. The operation, codenamed “Operation Sindoor,” targeted nine locations linked to anti-India terror activities.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh lauded the armed forces for their “focused and measured” action, stating that the strikes were aimed at those responsible for killing innocent civilians.
Key Highlights:
✔ 9 Terror Camps Hit – Strikes focused on launchpads in PoK & Pakistan, avoiding Pakistani military facilities.
✔ “Justice is Served” – Indian Army confirmed the operation’s success in an official statement on X.
✔ PM Modi’s Support – Singh credited PM Narendra Modi’s strong leadership for enabling decisive action.
Why Now?
The strikes come after rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack. India emphasized “considerable restraint” in target selection to avoid escalation.
Global Reaction Awaited
Pakistan is yet to issue an official response, but the operation signals India’s zero-tolerance policy towards cross-border terrorism.
