'Operation Sindoor': Read full statement of the government

NEW DELHI: The Indian Armed Forces launched ' OPERATION SINDOOR ', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed. Altogether, nine sites have been targeted, according to an official statement.

"Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution," said a press release issued by the Press Information Bureau (PIB).
