STRATEGIC ATTACKS

Operation Sindoor was a collective effort of the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force. Terror hideouts were selected carefully, avoiding civilian habitations and Pakistani military camps.

Why Sindoor?

Sindoor, which means vermilion, which married women apply to their forehead, was specifically chosen as the operation's name to pay respect to every martyr's sacrifice and every woman's pride who was left widowed after killing their husbands.
