Let me make it clear that our fight was against terrorists and the infrastructure supporting them. That is exactly what we targeted, while ensuring there was no collateral damage. Our objectives had been achieved and the mission was complete. However, when the Pakistani establishment chose to side with terror and turn it into its own fight, we had no choice but to respond in kind. What followed was an act of self defence, and our response was precise, lethal and uncompromising. After suffering heavy losses, the adversary sought a cessation of hostilities. We paused when the request came. We stepped back, but we did not blink. The message was clear: misadventure will not go unanswered and acts of terror will carry consequences. - Air Marshal, Awadhesh Kumar Bharti, while addressing a press conference marking the first anniversary of #OperationSindoor HQ IDS Ministry of Defence, Government of India

#Pakistan did not close its civil airspace despite launching a failed unprovoked drone and missile attack on 7th May at 08:30 hours in the evening. Pakistan is using civil airliners as a shield, knowing fully well that its attack on India would elicit a swift air defence response. This is not safe for the unsuspecting civil airliners including the international flights which were flying near IB between India and Pakistan The screenshot we just showed, it shows the data of the application flight radar 24 during a high air defence alert situation in the #Punjab sector. As you have seen, the airspace on the Indian side is absolutely devoid of civil air traffic due to our declared closure. However, there are civil airlines flying the air route between Karachi and Lahore -Wing Commander Vyomika Singh Ministry of Defence, Government of India रक्षा मंत्री कार्यालय/ RMO India PMO India Randhir Jaiswal
