The Indian Army has released a new video of Operation Sindoor, showcasing the military action undertaken in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in the death of 26 civilians. The video, shared on the Army's Western Command's X handle on Sunday, is captioned "Planned, trained & executed. Justice served."
Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, targeting nine terror-related sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation was a direct response to the Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the Army, any enemy post violating the ceasefire was destroyed during night operations on May 9.
The video released by the Army offers a glimpse into the operation's intensity and the resolve of the Indian soldiers. In the video, a soldier can be heard saying that Operation Sindoor was not an act of revenge but a delivery of justice, and a lesson that Pakistan would not forget for decades. The video further shows visuals of blasts and continuous firing, emphasizing the destruction of enemy posts that violated the ceasefire.
The Economic Times reported that following India's strikes, Pakistan responded with heavy shelling across the Line of Control (LoC) and attempted drone attacks. India then launched a coordinated second wave of strikes, targeting radar systems, communication centers, and airfields at 11 Pakistani airbases.
Multiple sources confirm that a ceasefire was agreed upon by both sides on May 10, bringing a halt to the hostilities. Despite the ceasefire, the Indian Army has conveyed a firm message through the video, emphasizing that Operation Sindoor was a calculated demonstration of strength and resolve.
The video shared by the Indian Army's Western Command begins with a musical piece from Shankar Mahadevan's rendition of Shiv Tandav Stotram. The 54-second video emphasizes that Operation Sindoor was driven not by anger or revenge but by a firm resolve to deliver justice and teach a lasting lesson to terror perpetrators and their state sponsors.
The release of the video is intended to highlight the meticulous planning, rigorous training, and precise execution of Operation Sindoor. It also serves as a message to deter future acts of terror and cross-border aggression. The Indian Army's message is clear: any attempt to violate the ceasefire or engage in terrorist activities will be met with a swift and decisive response.
