According to the Ministry, these steps come in response to the “barbaric” Pahalgam terrorist attack, in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were killed. The government reiterated its commitment to hold those responsible accountable.
A detailed briefing on ‘Operation Sindoor’ will be held later today, the Ministry added.Meanwhile, in a post on X, the Indian Army said: “Justice is served. Jai Hind!”In an earlier post, the Army had written: ” Ready to strike, trained to win.” (ANI)
