How Indian Army's 15 Corps executed Operation Sindoor with precision and surprise
This included strengthening defensive postures, identifying high-value enemy targets, and integrating next-generation weapon systems along with electronic warfare capabilities.A post-strike damage assessment (PSDA) mechanism was prepared in advance, supported by real-time surveillance ('eyes on target') to ensure precise outcomes. The strike was carefully synchronised to deliver a swift and overwhelming blow, with the first 25 minutes deemed critical.The offensive began between 01:05 am and 01:30 am on May 7, with simultaneous strikes launched across multiple enemy positions.EXECUTION AND TACTICSSurprise was the cornerstone of Operation Sindoor's success. Pakistani troops, according to intelligence reports, were caught completely off-guard. In many instances, they failed to comprehend the scale of the attack until substantial damage had already been done.advertisementIndian artillery operated in tight coordination, delivering massive yet selective shelling aimed at terror infrastructure and Pakistani military positions that supported such networks.Lt Gen Srivastava emphasised that no women or children were targeted, reflecting the Indian Army's strict commitment to ethical conduct.TARGET ZONES AND IMPACTKey enemy locations—including those in the Muzaffarabad sector, as deep as 34 to 41 km inside Pakistani territory—were hit.Several posts that were reportedly being used as shields for terror hideouts were also selectively targeted after intelligence confirmed the terrorist presence.This was the first time India struck so deep and wide across multiple sectors inside Pakistani territory in a coordinated attack.DAMAGE INFLICTED AND PAKISTANI CASUALTIESThe strike resulted in 64 Pakistani fatalities, including two Pakistan Army officers, and 96 injuries.Intercepted communications revealed panic and confusion. In one message, a Pakistani commander was heard saying: "Daftar to kal bhi khul jaayega, filhaal jaan bachake bhaago." (The office can open tomorrow; for now, save your life and run.)Attempts by Pakistan's Border Action Team (BAT) to retaliate were successfully repelled. Indian forces employed advanced launchpads and electronic warfare to intercept and prevent cross-border intrusions.QUADCOPTER DETECTION: A TACTICAL WIN IN PIR PANJALBeyond direct combat, Operation Sindoor also included robust surveillance operations.advertisementIn the northern Pir Panjal range, Indian forces successfully detected and tracked 307 Pakistani quadcopters out of 349 intrusions—highlighting Pakistan's growing reliance on drones for smuggling and reconnaissance.This effort significantly degraded Pakistan's situational awareness and gave India a tactical edge throughout the operation.ZERO INDIAN CASUALTIESRemarkably, no Indian casualties were reported. 'Any Casualty: None,' Lt Gen Srivastava proudly said. This highlights the precision, coordination, and firepower dominance demonstrated by the Indian armed forces.The Indian Army also clarified that Operation Sindoor was a measured and punitive response, not an act of escalation. The objective was to send a clear signal—strategic deterrence without unnecessary destruction.OPERATION SINDOOR CONTINUESOperation Sindoor, led by the 15 Corps under Lt Gen Prashant Srivastava, will be remembered as one of the most calculated and successful cross-border military actions in recent times. The operation not only reaffirmed India's military capability and technological superiority but also showcased its restraint in warfare.The message was unambiguous: any provocation or support to terrorism will be met with decisive force.Tune InMust Watch

Indian goods, hit by Trump tariffs ‘can head to Russia': Moscow slams US as Jaishankar pays visit
Roman Babushkin, the Chargé d'Affaires of the Russian embassy in India, has said that Indian goods affected by American tariffs are welcome in Russia. He further said that Russia has mechanisms to keep exporting oil to India despite various barriers. Oil tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has threatened to close this key oil supply route after US attacked its nuclear sites on Sunday (June 22). File photo/Reuters The top Russian diplomat posted in India has said that India's goods affected by US tariffs are welcome in his country. At a press briefing, Roman Babushkin, the Chargé d'Affaires of the Russian embassy in India, said that Indian exports affected by tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump would be welcome in Russia. He slammed tariffs as 'unjustified' and called them 'double standards'. 'If Indian goods are facing difficulties entering the US market, the Russian market is welcoming Indian exports,' said Babushkin, adding that any unilateral decisions will lead to 'disruptions in supply chains' and endanger the energy security of developing countries. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The remarks have come at a time when External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is in Moscow to hold talks with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. Russian leader Vladimir Putin is expected to visit India by the end of the year. Trump has slapped 50 per cent tariffs on India. He imposed 25 per cent tariff on July 31 as part of the tariffs' rollout for more than 60 countries and topped that with additional 25 per cent tariff on August 6 as a punishment for buying Russian oil. He has accused India of fuelling the Russian war machine in Ukraine. Babushkin dubbed such decisions as 'neocolonial behaviour'. Babushkin said that Russia would continue to supply oil to India. He stressed that Russian oil has no alternative. 'Discount on Russian crude oil is about 5 per cent for India. India understands there is no chance to change supplies. The profit is very high for India. There is no alternative to Russian crude oil as it is very competitive,' said Babushkin. Analysts have said that up to 60 per cent of Indian goods to the United States could be affected by tariffs and the GDP growth could fall by up to 1 per cent.

White House, again, claims Trump stopped India-Pak conflict: ‘Could've resulted in nuclear war'
The White House once again claimed on Tuesday that United States President Donald Trump ended the four-day military conflict between India and Pakistan in May this year. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Donald Trump was "very proud" of all the peace deals he has been able to achieve. (AFP) While addressing the media on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the conflict between India and Pakistan could have turned into a 'nuclear war' had Trump not intervened. While answering a question regarding US' role in trying to end the Russia-Ukraine war, Leavitt said, 'The President is using the might of American strength to demand that respect from our allies, our friends, our adversaries all around the world.' She added that this reflects not just in the progress with Russia and Ukraine but also 'in the closing of seven global conflicts around the world.' Also read: Donald Trump imposed 'sanctions on India' to end war in Ukraine, says White House 'We've seen it with the end of the conflict between India and Pakistan, which could have resulted in a nuclear war if we had not had a President who believed in the strength and the leverage that comes with the job of being the President of the United States of America,' Leavitt said. 'Trump used trade to stop India-Pak war,' claims White House Later during the press briefing, she also said that Trump used trade in a 'very powerful way' to end the India-Pakistan conflict. 'India and Pakistan, he used trade in a very powerful way as leverage to bring that conflict to an end,' she said while talking about how 'proud' Trump is of all the peace deals he has been able to achieve, including between Armenia and Azerbaijan. India has consistently denied Donald Trump's claim of US' role in ending its four-day military confrontation with Pakistan from May 7-10. The confrontation happened after India launched Operation Sindoor against terror infrastructure in Pakistan after the brutal April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, mostly tourists. While addressing the Parliament during the monsoon session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that no leader of any country asked India to stop Operation Sindoor.
