It’s been over two weeks since India launched Operation Sindoor in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack that took place on April 22. As Indian Army troops carried out precise and calculated strikes under Operation Sindoor, they didn’t just destroy terror camps across the Line of Control- they sent shockwaves through the ranks of the Pakistan Army, leaving its soldiers rattled and scrambling for cover. Since the operation, multiple reports have surfaced highlighting instances of alleged cowardice by the Pakistan Army in the face of India’s strong response. One such report claims that during the operation, a senior Pakistan Army commander took shelter inside a mosque to protect himself. When contacted by junior officers seeking instructions, he reportedly replied, “The office will open later- save your lives first.”

The Times of India, citing the IANS news agency, reported that intercepted radio chatter revealed the commander had taken refuge in a mosque after telling his junior officers to “run for their lives.” “Our commander sahab escaped with great difficulty. He’s offering namaz in a mosque. He’s sent his men here and said he will return only when things calm down,” a junior officer was heard. India’s Operation Sindoor targeted terrorist camps. In response, Pakistan shelled civilian areas. This caused India to strike back at Pakistani military sites linked to the attacks.
During the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which was orchestrated by Pakistan, 26 tourists were killed by terrorists.
That 10 minutes!
Over a week after India launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack, details of the mission are now emerging, including how India managed to deceive and outsmart its adversary. The success of the mission is reportedly attributed to the DRDO Lakshya unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The UAV was in disguise of disguised as fighter jets that resembled Rafale, Su-30, or MiG-29 aircraft. On the night of May 6-7, 2025, between 1:05 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. IST, when India sent them across the border, the aircraft appeared to the enemy country as legitimate warplanes.
The Indian Air Force (IAF), operating from Indian airspace, deployed Harop loitering munitions (kamikaze drones) to destroy the exposed Pakistani air defence systems. This was followed by precision strikes using BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, Scalp, and Crystal Maze missiles, targeting 11 Pakistani air bases (including Chaklala, Rafiqui, Bholari, and Muridke) and nine terror camps (e.g., Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba facilities in Muridke, Bahawalpur, and Sialkot).
