New Delhi:
India’s briefing on ‘Operation Sindoor’ today gave a strong and significant message as two women officers – Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi – led it, shedding light on the April 22 Pahalagam terror attack in which 26 people died.
The choice of women officers leading the briefing is powerful as it reflects the mark of strength and sacrifice. It is also symbolic to India’s anti-terror operation ‘Sindoor’ – as a way of honouring those women widowed after terrorists killed men in the Pahalgam attack.
“Terror targets were chosen based on credible intelligence and their involvement in cross-border terrorism. No military installation was targeted in Pakistan during ‘Operation Sindoor’,” Colonel Sofiya Qureshi said during her address.
She also announced that nine terrorist camps were destroyed.
Wing Commander Vyomika Singh said, “India is ready to deal with any misadventure by Pakistan.”
