Marking the anniversary, PM Modi shared a message on X praising the armed forces for carrying out the operation.
"They gave a fitting response to those who dared to attack innocent Indians at Pahalgam. The entire nation salutes our forces for their valour. Operation Sindoor reflected India’s firm response against terrorism and an unwavering commitment to safeguarding national security," he wrote.
The military operation was launched on May 7, 2025, days after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 civilians lost their lives.
