The Indian Army has released a new three-minute video detailing the execution and impact of Operation Sindoor, showcasing precision strikes on terror infrastructure and military assets across the border in Pakistan. The video, which has quickly gained traction online, presents the operation as a calibrated response to decades of cross-border terrorism.
The video opens with a stark timeline of major terror attacks blamed on Pakistan-based groups, beginning with the 2001 attack on India’s Parliament, followed by the Akshardham Temple attack in 2002, the 2008 Mumbai terror strikes, Uri in 2016, Pulwama in 2019, and the Pahalgam massacre in 2025. The Army labels these incidents as “attacks on humanity,” framing Operation Sindoor as a response rooted in deterrence rather than escalation.

Nine Terror Targets Hit On May 7
According to the visuals, Indian forces carried out coordinated strikes on nine terror targets on the night of May 7, 2025. The footage highlights precision-guided munitions and synchronised operations, indicating extensive planning and real-time intelligence. Though Pakistan is not explicitly named, the targets shown are understood to be terror hubs operating with state backing.
The video also shows the aftermath of heavy shelling near border areas in Jammu and Kashmir, widely attributed to Pakistani forces. In response, Indian troops are seen intercepting drones, neutralising forward military posts, and conducting retaliatory fire. Later segments of the footage depict strikes on air defence radars and airbases across the border, underscoring the widening scope of the operation. The video concludes with a message: “A warning for our enemies. They have to pay for their cowardice.”
Triggered By Pahalgam Attack
Operation Sindoor was conceived after the Pahalgam terror attack, in which Pakistan-backed terrorists allegedly identified victims by religion before killing 26 civilians. The Indian government described the massacre as a “clear attempt to incite communal violence,” prompting decisive military action.
In a significant acknowledgement, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed during a year-end press briefing that India had struck the Nur Khan Air Base in Rawalpindi’s Chakala area. He admitted the attack caused damage to the facility and injured personnel.
Dar claimed India deployed multiple drones in a short span. “In 36 hours, at least 80 drones were sent,” he said, adding that while most were intercepted, one caused damage. He also confirmed that Pakistan’s civil and military leadership, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, met on the night of May 9 to authorise responses, implicitly conceding the scale and impact of India’s operation.
