The term sindoor refers to a red vermillion powder traditionally worn by married Hindu women in the parting of their hair, symbolizing marital status. The name of the operation is widely interpreted as a direct reference to the tragic attack on April 22 in the Pahalgam region of Indian-administered Kashmir.
According to survivor testimonies, the assailants — reportedly armed militants — singled out and executed at least 26 civilians, most of them tourists. Witnesses say the attackers systematically separated men from women and identified non-Muslims among them before carrying out the killings. As a result, many married Hindu women were left widowed, amplifying the cultural resonance of the term "sindoor" in the context of the military response.

Targets included alleged terrorist infrastructure in areas like Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and Bahawalpur.
Casualties and Damage:
India claimed the strikes were precise and aimed at terrorist camps.
Pakistan reported at least 26 civilian deaths, including children, and damage to mosques and residential buildings.

Reported additional casualties and infrastructure damage from Indian attacks.

Chief minister Omar Abdullah defended the Indian strikes on Pakistan claiming that they have targeted terrorists camps inside of the country. he stated:
“Pakistan bombed civilian areas and targeted civilians; they started it, not us,”
“None of us want war, we want stability to return, but Pakistan must lower their weapons first.” Omar Abdullah added.
It should be noted both sides Have admitted the Targeted "terrorist camps" were civilian religious cites that led to the death of several Pakistani civilians, and the death of several Indian civilians as a result of Pakistani retaliation.
The situation between India and Pakistan keeps escalating, raising concerns that the break out of all out war between the two nuclear powers is inevitable.
Pakistan’s National Security Committee (NSC) has strongly condemned recent actions by India, accusing New Delhi of dangerously escalating regional tensions. In an official statement issued after a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the NSC urged the global community to take note of what it described as India’s “unlawful and aggressive behavior.”
The committee alleged that Indian military operations had deliberately struck civilian areas under the pretense of targeting non-existent militant facilities. According to the NSC, these actions posed significant threats to civilian life and disrupted regional air traffic, endangering commercial airlines.
“The onus for any further escalation lies solely with India,” the statement emphasized, warning of serious consequences stemming from what it termed a breach of international law and accepted diplomatic norms.
The Pakistani leadership called on international organizations and governments to hold India accountable and to address the broader implications of such unilateral actions for regional peace and stability.
