Operation Sindoor

Operation Sindoor

India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 25 Indian tourists and one Nepali citizen.

About the Sindoor Operation

Sindoor Operation

  • The Indian Armed Forces conducted precision strikes on nine terror infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
  • The targets included key terrorist hubs in Bahawalpur, Muridke (Pakistan Punjab), Muzaffarabad, and Kotli (PoK), known bases of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
  • The operation showcased India’s strategic restraint and commitment to punishing those responsible for cross-border terrorism.

Pakistan’s Response

  • Pakistan invoked Article 51  of the UN Charter claiming India’s action breached international norms, while India cited the same Article to justify self-defence.

About Article 51 of United Nations Charter

  • Article 51 of the UN Charter affirms the “inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a UN member state.”
  • Any defensive measures taken under Article 51 must be reported to the UN Security Council and are subject to its authority to maintain international peace.
  • The provision recognizes the legitimacy of unilateral defensive action until the UNSC takes collective security measures.
