The Indian Army on Sunday released fresh visuals of how it carried out strikes against Pakistan and terror launchpads in the neighbouring country as part of 'Operation Sindoor'. The Army said its military action was not revenge for the Pahalgam terror attack, but "justice".

In the video, the Army shows how it razed down terror launchpads across the Line of Control. "The enemy was seen leaving his posts and running away", it said. "Operation Sindoor was a lesson for Pakistan that it had not learnt for decades," the Army said.

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 and carried out precision strikes at terror bases at nine locations along the Line of Control to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack. As many as 26 persons, including 25 tourists and a local horse owner, were killed in the worst terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370.
While India maintained it does not wish to escalate the situation, Pakistan launched drone strikes targeting military assets along the International Border and LoC on May 8,9 and 10. India successfully thwarted the attacks. In retaliation, India struck 11 Pakistani air bases and destroyed 20 per cent of Pakistan’s air force assets.
