Op Sindoor under right to preempt, incapacitate terrorists to be sent to India: Misri

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Wednesday (May 7) told media that the Operation Sindoor launched by the country’s armed forces, under which terror camps were targeted in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, was part of a preemptive action meant to “incapacitate” the terrorists who were to be sent to India for further attacks.

“Today’s operation was to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism and incapacitate the terrorists being sent to India,” Misri told the media.

He also said, citing intelligence inputs, that more terror attacks were planned by Pakistan-based terrorists in India’s Jammu and Kashmir.

“We have information that more attacks could be done on India and we have to be ready to deal with those and we are ready and prepared,” Misri said.

On Wednesday, the Indian armed forces launched “Operation Sindoor”, a swift and targeted military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. The operation focused on striking terrorist infrastructure both in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

In an official statement, the Ministry of Defence confirmed that nine terror-linked sites were hit with precision. Importantly, the strikes did not target any Pakistani military facilities, highlighting that the operation was aimed strictly at eliminating terror bases and avoiding direct military escalation.
