In 2025, India launched surgical strikes against Pakistan after terror attack
After the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, which took 26 civilian lives, India launched Operation Sindoor—a carefully planned military response.
Starting May 7, Indian forces hit nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir using fewer than 50 precision weapons, aiming for maximum impact with minimal collateral damage.
Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor was widely viewed as setting a new standard for how India handles such crises—quick action, clear goals, and teamwork across military branches.
Even as Pakistan responded with drone and missile strikes (many intercepted by Indian defenses), India kept the focus tight: dismantle terror networks without escalating into a bigger conflict.
By May 10, the operation wrapped up as Pakistan agreed to talk.
For young people watching regional tensions unfold, this shows how strategic planning and restraint can resolve crises—and shape future responses to terrorism.
