India launched coordinated strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir on May 7, targeting Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizb-ul Mujahideen strongholds. This operation, dubbed 'Operation Sindoor,' followed the Indian Defence Ministry's declaration of 2025 as a 'year of reforms' for the armed forces. The Pahalgam terror attack prompted policy changes and civilian preparedness drills. Prime Minister Modi stated the operation reflected national sentiment and aimed to deter terrorism. The government has also increased defense procurements and focused on technological advancements.
