Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that Indian armed forces penetrated 100 km into Pakistan, destroying terrorist camps in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. He praised the Army, Navy, and Air Force for their coordinated response, stating, "The terrorists thought their threats would intimidate us, but all three wings of our forces gave a fitting response, stronger than they could have imagined." The operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor, targeted nine terror camps linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Shah emphasized that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India's air defense has been strengthened, warning that any further terror attacks would be met with even stronger responses.
