Defence Minister Rajnath Singh affirmed India's military strength following reports of BrahMos missile deployment in Operation Sindoor. The operation, launched in response to the Pahalgam attack that killed 28 civilians, targeted terrorist infrastructures of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan-administered regions. Singh emphasized that the strikes were precise, non-escalatory, and avoided Pakistani military facilities. He highlighted India's commitment to self-reliance, noting plans to commence BrahMos missile production in Lucknow by 2026. This move aligns with India's broader strategy to bolster indigenous defense capabilities and deter external threats. Singh reiterated that India's defense initiatives aim to ensure national security without aggression towards other nations. (PC: PTI & NDTV)
