Pakistan Disputes India's Account in Discovery's Operation Sindoor Documentary
The recent Discovery docuseries "Declassified: Operation Sindoor" presents India's account of the 88-hour 2025 military operation targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir following the Pahalgam attack. Featuring Indian officials including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, it portrays the operation as a precise and successful response. Pakistan's military, through its ISPR wing, rejects this narrative as one-sided, dramatized, and factually inaccurate, disputing claims of complete Indian success and highlighting Indian losses and ceasefire communications between military leaders.
