India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh accused Pakistan of targeting Indian civilian areas and religious sites in overnight attacks, including temples, gurudwaras, and churches. He emphasized that India's response, Operation Sindoor, was a measured yet forceful retaliation aimed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Singh highlighted the Indian Army's courage and restraint, asserting that the operation demonstrated India's political, social, and strategic resolve against terrorism. He noted that Indian forces struck multiple military bases, extending their reach to Rawalpindi, the location of Pakistan's army headquarters. Singh contextualized Operation Sindoor alongside previous responses to terror attacks, such as the 2016 surgical strikes and the 2019 Balakot airstrikes, reinforcing India's commitment to counterterrorism.
