India launched “precision strikes” under Operation Sindoor on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK following the Pahalgam terror attack
Air defence actions under Operation Sindoor — launched as a counter-offensive against the dastardly attack by Pakistan-backed terrorists in Pahalgam — are still ongoing and a detailed briefing will be conducted in due course, the Indian Air Force (IAF) said on Sunday after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday.
Hailing the success of the mission, IAF said that it successfully executed its tasks with precision and professionalism, guided by national objectives.
“The Indian Air Force (IAF) has successfully executed its assigned tasks in Operation Sindoor, with precision and professionalism. Operations were conducted in a deliberate and discreet manner, aligned with National Objectives. Since the Operations are still ongoing, a detailed briefing will be conducted in due course. The IAF urges all to refrain from speculation and dissemination of unverified information,” IAF said in a post on X.

The IAF’s statement came a day after India and Pakistan announced to have agreed to an immediate ceasefire and cease all military action across land, air, and sea, following four days of military escalation, deadly cross-border drone attacks and missile strikes.
However, barely hours after the announcement, Jammu and Kashmir was shaken by a series of drone sightings followed by explosions, prompting security personnel to engage air defence systems to bring them down.
Operation Sindoor
India launched “precision strikes” under Operation Sindoor on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. The strikes killed at least 10 family members of JeM chief Masood Azhar and four close aides.
The sites targeted were the Pakistani bases at Rafiqui (Shorkot, Jhang), Murid (Chakwal), Nur Khan (Chaklala, Rawalpindi) Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur and Chunian (Kasur). In the strikes, the air bases in Skardu, Bholari, Jacobabad and Sargodha suffered extensive damage.
As per the reports, India reportedly unleashed its formidable BrahMos supersonic cruise missile as part of the operation on Pakistani military bases.
