How Operation Sindoor signals India’s shift towards theatre commands and IBG doctrineIn the first round of strikes, India struck nine terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK) in the early hours of May 7. After Pakistan responded with attacks across northern and western India later that day, India responded with strikes on Pakistan’s air defence and radar sites. As Pakistan continued its aggression with hundreds of drones and missile attacks, India struck at least eight Pakistani airbases and hit several air defence and radar sites, including some of the most prized installations, such as the Chaklala and Sargodha airbases.After being battered for four days, Pakistan reached out with a request for a ceasefire on May 10 that was granted.The MPs’ visits abroad to put forward India’s position comes after the news of India seeking the designation of The Resistance Front (TRF) as a terrorist group at the United Nations. The TRF, which claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack, is believed to be a cover used by Pakistan-based and -backed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) to portray its attacks as acts of an indigenous group instead of a group sponsored by a foreign state.As part of India’s efforts to advance its point of view, Indian ambassadors have also been giving interviews to foreign press.TagsIndiaPakistanEnd of Article
