Video: Air Force Shares Glimpse Of Attack On Terror Camps During Op Sindoor
New Delhi: The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Sunday shared a video showing a glimpse of an attack on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) during Operation Sindoor, which was launched in May to avenge the Pahalgam attack. The 5-minute video posted on X first showed the newspaper clippings on the April 22 Pahalgam attack, in which 26 civilians lost their lives. It then showed Prime Minister Narendra Modi holding a high-level meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan, and the tri-services chiefs. A black background then appeared, with the text " Operation Sindoor", followed by "IAF responded with precision, speed, resolve". It then showed aerial strikes by the Indian fighter jets on terror sites in Pakistan and PoK. It also featured clips and pictures that showed the "decimated" terror camps. Indian Air Force -Touch the Sky with Glory #IndianAirForce #YearOfDefenceReforms @DefenceMinIndia @SpokespersonMoD @HQ_IDS_India @adgpi @IndiannavyMedia @indiannavy @CareerinIAF — Indian Air Force (@IAF_MCC) August 10, 2025 The video also showed fighter jets in action during the 1971 war with Pakistan. It also mentioned the Kargil war and Indian strikes in response to the Pulwama attack in 2019. "When the skies grow dark and danger looms across land or sea, there's one force that rises. Vast, fearless and precise. The Indian Air Force," narrated the voiceover. The Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 after finding cross-border links to the Pahalgam attack. They struck multiple terror camps and killed over 100 terrorists. Pakistan then launched a massive missile and drone attack, which India intercepted. In retaliation, Indian forces struck airfields in Pakistan. A ceasefire on May 10 ended the hostilities. Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh last Saturday said the IAF shot down five Pakistani fighter jets and a large aircraft during Operation Sindoor. "We have an indication of at least one AWC in that AWC hangar, and a few F-16s, which are under maintenance there. We have at least five fighters confirmed killed and one large aircraft, which could be either an aircraft or an AWC, which was taken at a distance of about 300 kilometres. This is actually the largest ever recorded surface-to-air kill that we can talk about," he said during an event in Bengaluru.

Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha adjourned till 2 pm amid opposition protest over SIR
The Lok Sabha was on Monday adjourned till 2 pm due to vociferous protests by opposition parties demanding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar electoral rolls and other issues. When the House met at 11 am after the weekend break, opposition MPs, including those from the Congress, were on their feet, raising slogans and holding placards. Initially, Speaker Om Birla tried to continue the business of the House -- Question Hour -- by allowing members to ask questions related to the Ministry of Environment and Forests amid the din. After about 10 minutes, Birla said the opposition members have been "systematically disrupting" the proceedings of the House for 14 days with their protests. "This is against the rules and regulations and against the democratic process. People elected you as their representatives to raise their issues and to fulfil their hopes and aspirations, but you are only protesting," he said. "People of the country are watching you," he said and adjourned the House till 2 pm. The opposition has been demanding a discussion on the SIR exercise initiated by the Election Commission ahead of the Bihar assembly elections due later this year. Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both Houses, Parliament has seen little business ever since the Monsoon session began on July 21 due to repeated adjournments initially due to the opposition's demand for a discussion on Operation Sindoor and then for a discussion on SIR. Rajya Sabha was also adjourned till post-lunch session within minutes of start of proceedings, as Opposition MPs continued to raise the alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. Soon after listed officials papers were laid on the table of the House, slogan shouting Opposition MPs moved into aisles and the well of the House, leading to adjournment of proceedings till 2 pm. Deputy Chairman Harivansh rejected 29 notices that invoked Rule 267, which allows suspension of listed business to discuss matters being raised by them. As Opposition MPs shouted slogans over what they allege as 'vote chori' (electoral theft) being done through SIR, Harivansh asked listed Zero Hour, where matters of public importance are raised by members, to be taken up. With Opposition MPs unrelenting, Harivansh adjourned the proceedings till 2 pm.
