Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has confirmed 'Operation Sindoor' is ongoing. All parties have backed the mission as the Air Force has been given a free hand to act upon any suspicious activity.

Speaking to The Indian Express, the official said there was nothing “absolute” in the current military stand-off between India and Pakistan, and that India’s responses would depend on whether and how quickly Pakistan climbed the escalatory ladder.

India struck multiple targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack.
