NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at around 8pm tonight, marking his first public statement since the launch of Operation Sindoor , officials confirmed on Monday. The address comes two days after India and Pakistan reached an understanding to halt all military actions across land, air, and sea with immediate effect, following a sharp spike in hostilities.
Operation Sindoor was launched by India on the night of May 6–7 in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack , in which 26 people were killed. The forces targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, reportedly killing over 100 terrorists.
In response, Pakistan attempted attacks on Indian military targets on May 8, 9, and 10, prompting India to launch a counter-offensive. Key Pakistani military sites, including Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Chunian, were hit by forces. Radar installations at Pasrur and Sialkot aviation base were also damaged using precision-guided munitions.
Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said that 35–40 Pakistani soldiers were killed and that India had “achieved its desired objectives.”
