NEW DELHI, May 12 -- Operation Sindoor, New Delhi's direct military response to the Pahalgam terror strike, showed the unflinching courage and resolve of the Indian armed forces as they smashed terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), and gave a crushing blow to the neigbouring military by striking its bases after it made brazen attempts to target the country's military infrastructure and civilian areas, defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday. The attacks not only shook Pakistani military bases near the border but even Rawalpindi, where the Pakistan Army is headquartered, felt the brunt of the Indian response, Singh said while remotely commissioning a BrahMos missile facility in Lucknow. The BrahMos missiles were used to strike Pakistani targets, including air bases, after Operation Sindoor was launched in the early hours of May 7, officials aware of the matter said. "Our armed forces displayed valour and restraint and gave a befitting reply by attacking many military bases of Pakistan. Not only did we act against military bases adjacent to the border, but the indignation of our armed forces reached even Rawalpindi, where the Pakistani military headquarters are located," Singh said. The comments came a day after India and Pakistan agreed to stop all military actions against each other, ending four days of conflict, although by late Saturday evening, there were enough violations by Pakistan to evoke a strong statement from India....
