Army Chief Highlights Principles, Technology in Operation Sindoor Success
India's top army general explained why a recent mission called 'Operation Sindoor' was a success.
He said that Indian soldiers used both advanced technology and strong moral rules.
They only attacked places where terrorists were hiding and made sure not to hurt any innocent people in Pakistan.
The soldiers were also careful not to attack when people were praying.
The General emphasized that India is different from those who use terror and that they follow ethical ways of fighting.
This operation was a response to a terror attack that happened earlier.
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated Operation Sindoor succeeded using both principles and technology.
India specifically targeted terrorist infrastructure and individuals, not civilians or military installations.
During the operation, care was taken to avoid striking when prayers (namaz) were being offered.
Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
The operation aimed to send a message to Pakistan about India's principled approach to counter-terrorism.
