India launched Operation Sindoor, a coordinated tri-service military strike involving the Army, Navy, and Air Force, marking the first such action since the 1971 war. The operation targeted terror camps and radicalisation hubs of JeM and LeT in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). India stressed targeted restraint, avoiding Pakistani military bases. In retaliation, Pakistan launched cross-border shelling, while local reports from Muzaffarabad and Kotli confirmed panic and evacuation orders.
