The operation was executed as a coordinated effort involving the Indian Armed Forces, using BrahMos missiles and more than 100 aircraft. It was recorded as the largest aerial engagement since 1971. Indian authorities stated that over 100 terrorists were eliminated during the strikes. In response, Pakistani retaliation resulted in 21 civilian deaths and 8 military fatalities on the Indian side.
Following escalating hostilities, a ceasefire was established on May 10, 2025, after mediation by the United States. In the aftermath, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and halted trade relations, marking a significant shift in its approach to cross-border terrorism by treating such incidents as acts of war.
On the anniversary, the Indian Air Force released dramatic footage of the strikes, accompanied by tributes honoring the courage, precision, and sacrifice of the armed forces involved in the operation.
The commemoration underscores Operation Sindoor as a defining moment in India’s contemporary security doctrine, reflecting a hardened strategic posture and reinforcing the role of coordinated military power in addressing cross-border terrorism.
