Operation Sindoor Delivers Major Blows to Pakistan’s Terror Infrastructure, Here's All What Happened
"Pakistan must accept that it cannot be business as usual anymore,” a top source told ANI.
Operation Sindoor, India vs Pakistan Ceasefire Latest News Today: In what Indian sources have called a strategic turning point in the subcontinent's counterterrorism doctrine, India’s Operation Sindoor has pushed the region into a ‘new normal’, where terrorist violence will be met with overwhelming force, and not just retaliatory warnings. With precision air strikes launched on May 9 and 10, India dealt a massive blow to Pakistan-based terror camps and critical air bases, fundamentally altering the regional security calculus.
Sources say that India hit a total of nine high-value targets, including the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur, ISI-linked terror facilities in Muridke and Muzaffarabad, and key air bases in Nur Khan (Chaklala) and Rahim Yar Khan, the latter’s runway reportedly flattened completely.
“Operation Sindoor is not over. This is the new normal. If they fire, we will fire. If they attack, we will attack. Pakistan must accept that it cannot be business as usual anymore,” a top source told ANI.
Three-Pronged Objective Achieved: Military, Political, and Psychological
India achieved three major objectives through the strikes:
Military: As per Prime Minister Modi’s instructions to “reduce terror hubs to dust,” India destroyed major training and operational camps in Pakistani territory.
Political: India has formally linked the Indus Waters Treaty to cross-border terrorism, declaring it in abeyance until terrorism ceases.
Psychological: By striking deep into Pakistan’s territory, India sent an unequivocal message: “Ghus ke maarenge” (We will hit you inside your home).
Global Diplomacy: India Makes Position Clear
Following the strikes, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio contacted External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar after speaking with Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir. India firmly stated that any communication should happen strictly between the two nations’ DGMOs (Directors General of Military Operations), not via foreign ministers or national security advisors.
India had already informed Pakistan’s DGMO about its initial strikes on May 7, but received no response. A request for talks came only after Pakistan’s airbases were struck on May 10, sources revealed.
India to Present Evidence to UNSC, No Room for Mediation
India is preparing to present fresh evidence of Pakistan’s complicity in terrorism to the UN Security Council’s 1267 Sanctions Committee next week. Officials stressed that India does not seek third-party mediation, nor does it wish to engage in talks on any subject other than terrorism or Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
“There is nothing else to talk about. Our position on Kashmir is clear, the only matter left is the return of PoK,” sources emphasized.
Modi’s Message to the U.S. and Pakistan: Expect a Stronger Response
In his recent meeting with US Vice President JD Vance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly warned that any further provocation by Pakistan would trigger a more devastating response. That very night, following an attack on 26 Indian sites by Pakistan-based forces, India retaliated with powerful and precise strikes on Pakistani military infrastructure.
India Declares: ‘This Is Not the Same India’
The message India has conveyed to the world is firm: There is no parity between victims and perpetrators. India will not pursue symbolic strikes or half-measures. Targets like Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, and Muridke, central to Pakistan’s terror architecture, were chosen deliberately to signal that India will now strike at the heart of terror, not just its fringes.
Far from being over, Operation Sindoor appears to be a watershed in India’s counterterrorism policy, one that rejects appeasement, embraces pre-emption, and insists on accountability.
