The whole of India woke up to a single name on Wednesday -- Operation Sindoor -- as the Indian Armed Forces struck nine terror launch pads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in the wee hours, to avenge the ghastly terrorist attack in Pahalgam that took place on April 22. As the word spread, several Bollywood celebs came to the fore and lauded the Indian Armed Forces, including Akshay Kumar, Kangana Ranaut, Riteish Deshmukh, and others.
Kangana took to her X handle and wrote, "Operation Sindoor: Zero tolerance to terror. The Indian Armed Forces launched a precision mission, Operation Sindoor; 9 terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir neutralized (sic)."

What is Operation Sindoor?
On Wednesday morning, the Government of India issued an official statement to inform: "A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed. Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted."

The statement further read, "Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution."
"These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable," it concluded.
Sharing the update on X, the official handle of Indian Army wrote, "Justice is served. Jai Hind!"
