An officer stationed at the LoC explained the importance of the Army's training and preparation on Tuesday.
"We were undergoing round-the-clock training. It is rightly said, 'The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war'. When we were selecting targets to be destroyed, it was well thought of, and we identified targets used by the terrorists. The kind of losses suffered by the enemy this time, it will not dare to repeat the same mistake again. All terror launchpads are under surveillance," the officer told ANI.

In addition to the strikes on terrorist infrastructure, Indian Army officials also condemned the
Pakistan Army
's violation of the cessation of hostilities.
An officer posted at the LoC remarked, "Pakistan unilaterally broke the ceasefire understanding that was there between both the armies. They indiscriminately started firing and engaging the forward posts. They also targeted innocent civilians living in
Poonch
."
The officer further emphasised the cultural harmony in Poonch, which was targeted by Pakistan's actions.
"Poonch has been at a confluence of all the religions... The enemy understood the harmony that existed in Poonch, and it was purely by design that, within 20 minutes, everything unfolded. This shows the utter lack of professionalism in the Pakistan Army. They have got no might to fight the Indian Army, so this is what they can do best," he added.
Operation Sindoor continues as the Indian Army remains vigilant along the LoC. "Operation Sindoor is still on and we continue to remain alert and vigilant," the officer said.
Operation SINDOOR was conceived as a punitive and targeted campaign to dismantle the
terror infrastructure
across the Line of Control and deeper inside Pakistan.

Triservice officers offer insight into Operation Sindoor on KBC
Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Commander Prerna Deosthalee on Friday offered viewers a rare inside look at Operation Sindoor, India's counterterror mission launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, during a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Triservice officers offer insight into Operation Sindoor on KBC Wing Commander Singh detailed the precision strikes that crippled terrorist infrastructure. 'We attacked in the interiors of the enemy to break their backs. The hands of those who watered the cactus of terrorism were broken. Twenty-one terror camps were recognised. Nine camps were finalised, and the game was done in 25 minutes,' she said. Colonel Qureshi explained the targets. 'Bahawalpur was the headquarters of the Jaish-e-Mohammed, from where terrorists who attacked Pathankot and Pahalgam were trained; Muridke had the headquarters of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, where Ajmal Kasab and David Headley were trained. Therefore, we had to destroy those places.' Singh added that terrorist camps operated under the cover of civilians. 'We are a peace-loving nation and want to live in synergy with our neighbours. Our next-gen tech weapons were so advanced now that we made the operation possible without any civilian fatalities.' Qureshi emphasised that the mission reflected a whole-of-nation approach involving the government and armed forces. Commander Deosthalee outlined the Navy's role. 'The Navy was battle-ready. We managed the trade routes to stabilise the economy and also ensured deterrence, as a dual job. We also protected the maritime borders as there were anti-national elements that entered in the past. Being part in this mission is a matter of pride and honour.' She described naval warfare as '360 degrees of uncertainty with no room for error in the middle of the endless sea without borders,' adding, 'When we strike, we strike in a manner that the enemy would remember forever.' The officers also credited local citizens for their role in rescue efforts after the Pahalgam attack, recalling the bravery shown despite the loss of Navy officer Vinay Narwal. On the preparedness of the armed forces, Singh said they were in 'offence mode.' Qureshi revealed that Pakistan had sent 300–400 drones, both armed and unarmed. 'They sent unarmed drones to scan India's weapon and defence capability around the Line of Control and the international border. But the Army Air Defence successfully disabled their attempts,' she said. Highlighting women's participation, Qureshi noted that over 100 women are involved in Operation Sindoor, trained on par with their male counterparts. 'This enabled them to handle the operations seamlessly.' Singh added, 'A weapon or a fighter aircraft doesn't distinguish between males and females.'

Military airstrike on gem mining town kills at least 21 in Myanmar
An airstrike by Myanmar's military on the town of Mogok, the centre of the Southeast Asian country's lucrative gem-mining industry, has killed at least 21 people including a pregnant woman, an armed opposition group, local residents and Myanmar's online media said on Saturday (August 16, 2025). The incident was the latest in a series of frequent and deadly military airstrikes, often causing civilian casualties, that have intensified in a bid to reclaim territory from resistance groups amid the ongoing civil war that erupted after the Army seized power in February 2021. The attack occurred on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. in Shwegu ward in Mogok township, about 115 kilometres northeast of Mandalay, the country's second-largest city, said Lway Yay Oo, a spokesperson for the the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA). The TNLA is one of the powerful ethnic militias fighting against the Army near the Chinese border. 'About 21 civilians were killed. Seven others were injured. Homes and Buddhist monastery buildings were also damaged,' Lway Yay Oo said. Mogok, the ruby-mining centre in the upper Mandalay region, was seized in July 2024 by the TNLA, a member of an alliance of ethnic militias that seized a large swath of territory in northeastern Myanmar in an offensive that began in late 2023. The group's statement released on Friday night on its Telegram social media channel said 16 women were among the victims killed in the airstrike that appeared to target a Buddhist monastery in Mogok's Shwegu ward. It said 15 houses were also damaged when a jet fighter dropped a bomb. Two Mogok residents told The Associated Press on Saturday that the death toll had risen to nearly 30, though the exact casualties could not be independently confirmed. The residents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were afraid of being arrested by the military, said the death toll was high because one of the bombed houses had been hosting visitors to the pregnant woman. Independent online media, including Myanmar Now and Democratic Voice of Burma, released pictures and videos said to be of debris in the aftermath of the airstrike. The military did not comment on the incident in Mogok. In the past, the Army has said it only attacks legitimate targets of war, accusing the resistance forces of being terrorists. Myanmar has been in turmoil since the Army seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021. After peaceful demonstrations were put down with lethal force, many opponents of military rule took up arms, and large parts of the country are now embroiled in conflict. The military government has stepped up airstrikes against the armed pro-democracy People's Defence Force and ethnic militias that have been fighting for greater autonomy for decades. The resistance forces have no defence against air attacks. The TNLA's statement said that another 17 people including two Buddhist monks had been killed and 20 others were injured in the first two weeks of August by airstrikes in areas controlled by the group. About 16 people, mostly truck drivers, were killed in airstrikes last Monday on a convoy of trucks that were parked on the road due to heavy fighting near the town of Sagaing in central Myanmar, according to independent Myanmar media reports. Opponents and independent analysts estimate the Army now controls less than half the country while maintaining a tenacious grip on much of central Myanmar, including the capital, Naypyidaw. It has accelerated counter-offensives ahead of the election it has promised to hold at the end of this year in order to retake areas controlled by opposition forces. Critics say the elections won't be democratic because there is no free media and most leaders of Suu Kyi's party have been arrested. The plan is widely seen as an attempt to legitimise and maintain the military's rule. Several opposition groups have said they would seek to derail the election.

Bangladesh belongs to all, says army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman during Janmashtami celebration at Dhaka's Dhakeshwari temple
(Image: New Delhi: Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman has said that Bangladesh is a country of people of all religions and communities. All citizens living in Bangladesh are equal, irrespective of their religion or region. He said this while addressing the Hindu devotees gathered on the occasion of the inauguration of the Janmashtami rally at Dhaka's Dhakeshwari temple. What did Waker-Uz-Zaman say? General Zaman's drawing attention towards the secular structure of the country from the Dhakeshwari temple is a veiled message for the Yunus government. After Yunus took over the command of the interim government in August last year, minority Hindus and temples have been targeted in Bangladesh. In such a situation, the Army Chief has given a strong message to the fundamentalists in his speech. People of all religions should live together General Zaman thanked the temple committee for inviting him to the Janmashtami celebrations and said, 'Bangladesh is a country of harmony, where Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Paharis, and Bengalis have been living together peacefully for centuries. On this auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, our resolution should be to always maintain this brotherhood.' 'Bangladesh belongs to everyone; there will be no division here. There can be no discrimination based on religion, caste or sect. We are all citizens of this land, and we all have equal rights in it. We all wish for a golden future together,' said Zaman. Bangladesh army will maintain unity Waker-Uz-Zaman said that the army is committed to maintaining the spirit of unity. He told the Hindu devotees, 'Armed forces are deployed throughout Bangladesh for your security and order. You celebrate your religious festivals with joy, and we will also join you in this moment of joy.'
