Indian Air Force Achieves Success in Operation Sindoor, Says Operation Not Yet Over

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has successfully carried out its objectives under Operation Sindoor , launched in response to recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir . In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), the IAF confirmed that the mission was executed with “professionalism and precision,” and conducted in a deliberate and discreet manner in line with India’s national security goals.

The operation, which began on May 7, followed a deadly terrorist strike in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. The tragedy triggered a sharp rise in tensions with Pakistan, which soon launched drone attacks on multiple Indian cities, further escalating the situation.

"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."

As military action intensified, both nations agreed to a full ceasefire starting 5 PM on Saturday, according to Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. Sources emphasized that this ceasefire was reached bilaterally, without any external mediation.

However, the fragile truce was quickly shaken. Hours after the ceasefire took effect, India accused Pakistan of violating the agreement. “For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening,” Misri said during a televised briefing. “The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations. We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility.”

With Operation Sindoor still underway, the IAF has announced that a detailed briefing will follow, and urged citizens to avoid speculation or sharing unverified information.
