“Justice is served”, said the Indian Army in a post on X immediately after India’s precision strikes against terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation to the killings sof Indian citizens in Pahalgam, Kashmir.

The Indian Army posted on X before the strike: "Prhaaraay SnnihitaaH, Jyaay PrshikssitaaH. Ready to strike, trained to win." And immediately after the attack came the post: “Justice is Served. Jai Hind!”

The formal advisory of the Indian government on Operation Sindoor was issued after the “Indian forces carried our precision strike at terrorist camps”.

It read: “A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed. Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted.

The government said the strikes are non-escalatory: “Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.”

The reason for the strikes was clearly enunciated: “These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable.”

In its X post, the Indian Ministry of Defense said: “India has launched #OperationSindoor, a precise and restrained response to the barbaric #PahalgamTerrorAttack that claimed 26 lives, including one Nepali citizen. Focused strikes were carried out on nine #terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning. Importantly, no Pakistani military facilities were hit, reflecting India’s calibrated and non-escalatory approach. This operation underscores India’s resolve to hold perpetrators accountable while avoiding unnecessary provocation. A detailed briefing on the operation will follow later today.”
