Highlighting the Navy’s preparedness, Admiral Tripathi stated that the force maintained an aggressive posture throughout the operation. “It is not a hidden fact anymore that we were just minutes away from striking Pakistan from sea, when they requested the stoppage of kinetic actions,” he said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, in response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. The operation aimed to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. According to reports, over 100 terrorists were eliminated during the mission.
