The Indian Army has shared the first images of the chiefs of the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy who led ‘Operation Sindoor’ monitoring India's strike on Pakistan on May 7.
In the images released by the Indian Army’s Headquarters (IHQ) Ops Room, Army chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi, Navy chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh are seen leading the operation.
The Operation Sindoor was in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed by militants on April 22.
Following the Indian action, Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10. The Pakistani attempts were strongly responded to by the Indian side.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on May 10 announced that India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea, with immediate effect.
Jaishankar says terrorism is an open business in Pakistan
Terrorism is an "open business" in Pakistan that is financed, organised and used by the state and its military, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.
The external affairs minister also said that India and Pakistan were "very, very far away" from a nuclear conflict during their recent clashes.
In an interview with German newspaper FAZ, Jaishankar, in apparent criticism of the West, said there has been a tendency to link everything in "our part of the world" to a "nuclear problem".
"Very, very far away. I'm frankly astonished by your question," he said when asked how far away the world was from a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan.
"At no point was a nuclear level reached. There is a narrative as if everything that happens in our part of the world leads directly to a nuclear problem. That disturbs me a lot because it encourages terrible activities like terrorism," he said.
Jaishankar said terrorist organisations are "openly" operating from the cities and towns of Pakistan.
