New Delhi, May 7 – In a powerful and precise military response to the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians, India launched Operation Sindoor, a cross-border strike that marked a significant shift in its counterterrorism doctrine.
According to high-level government sources, India deliberately targeted the “snake’s head”—key terror masterminds and infrastructure—instead of just foot soldiers. The strikes were executed across nine strategic terror facilities, including locations in Pakistan’s Bahawalpur and Muridke, and in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’s Muzaffarabad and Kotli.
“These were high-value command centers of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba,” said a senior official, referencing the groups behind the Pulwama (2019) and Mumbai (2008) attacks. The strikes were coordinated, high-precision missile attacks, extending deep into Pakistani territory, not limited to the Line of Control.
“This is a new normal,” the source asserted. “Neither the LoC, nor Pakistan’s international borders, nor even nuclear deterrence will shield terrorism. We’ve sent a message: terrorists and their masters are no longer safe anywhere.”
India reportedly eliminated multiple top-level operatives from its most-wanted list in a single night, crippling the leadership of several terror cells.
While Pakistan carried out provocations including civilian-targeted attacks and drone strikes, India said it exercised strategic restraint, only responding after escalations and targeting military-linked terrorist infrastructure—not civilian areas.
The Indian government also made it clear that it will no longer seek international permission to defend its people.
“This operation demonstrates India’s evolved doctrine of calibrated deterrence,” the source concluded. “Terrorism as state policy will now face direct, visible consequences.”
