The Indian Air Force asserts that all its bases and systems remain fully operational following 'Operation Sindoor,' launched in retaliation to an April terror attack. Indian military officials emphasize the focus on combating terrorism while responding to Pakistani military actions.

Following this attack, India and Pakistan officially downgraded their ties, triggering a tit-for-tat visa cancellation, suspension of bilateral agreements and more. In the aftermath of the attack, several demolitions were carried out across Jammu and Kashmir targeting suspected active militants.

This is Prime Minister Modi’s first public address since Operation Sindoor, carried out by the Indian army in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
