India launched a series of targeted precision strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’ against terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has convened an urgent meeting with states that share a border with Pakistan and Nepal, hours after India launched military strikes at terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
Shah met with Chief Ministers, DGPs and Chief Secretaries of all border states. The Chief Ministers of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Sikkim, and West Bengal were present at the meeting, along with LGs of Ladakh and J&K.
India launched a series of targeted precision strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’ against terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on the intervening night of Tuesday-Wednesday, targeting terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Earlier, Amit Shah hailed the Indian Armed Forces, saying Operation Sindoor was “Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam.” He said the Modi government has resolved to give a befitting response to the attack on India.
Proud of our armed forces.#OperationSindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday briefed his cabinet colleagues about India’s retaliatory strikes over Pahalgam horror against terror camps in Pakistan and PoK under Operation Sindoor, calling it a “moment of pride”.
Describing the operation as a “perfect strike by the armed forces”, the Prime Minister informed the ministers about how the nine strikes were conducted — 4 in Pakistan’s Punjab province and 5 in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. “Hum sab ke liye garv ka pal hai (this is a moment of pride for all of us),” PM Modi told his ministers at the meeting, according to sources.
Indian intelligence agencies had earlier traced the Pahalgam attack to Pakistan-based groups, with The Resistance Front — a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy — claiming responsibility. In response, India had vowed a decisive countermeasure, combining diplomatic pressure with military preparedness. Operation Sindoor marks one of the most significant cross-border actions taken by India since the Balakot airstrikes in 2019.
