In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, India’s precision strike mission targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), the Pakistan Army has vowed a strong retaliation. Army spokesperson Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry condemned the Indian operation as a “cowardly and unjustified act,” alleging civilian casualties — a claim India has denied. The Indian strike, carried out in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, targeted nine sites linked to terror outfits including JeM, LeT, and Hizbul Mujahideen. India stated that no civilian or military installations were hit and that global powers including the U.S., UK, Russia, and Saudi Arabia had been briefed about the operation. With tensions escalating, Pakistan’s aggressive posture signals a possible regional flare-up.
