Indian Defense Minister Singh: "Operation Sindur is not over yet"

Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, speaking about "Operation Sindoor" launched against Pakistan in response to a terrorist attack in South Kashmir, said, "It is not over yet. It was just a trailer."

Singh, speaking to reporters during a visit to the Rudra Mata Air Force Base in Bhuj, Gujarat, the Hindustan Times reported. He stressed that the military operation against Pakistan is ongoing and efforts will not stop to ensure its success. He also said that Pakistan's activities are being closely monitored.

Singh claimed that Pakistan's infrastructure was severely damaged during the operation, with some air bases destroyed.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif also said he was ready to talk to New Delhi about peace over the ongoing tensions with India. According to Dawn, Sharif assessed the relations between the two countries during a visit to the Kamra Air Force Base in Punjab.

He said that the Islamabad administration is committed to resolving the issues peacefully and is "ready to talk about peace." Sharif also rejected India's allegations of Pakistan's involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack.

Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, speaking in the Senate, announced that the ceasefire agreement reached on May 10 under US mediation has been extended until May 18. "Ultimately, it comes down to dialogue," he said. He stressed that all problems can be resolved through dialogue and that such dialogue will be held in the presence of the international community.

On May 6, India launched missile strikes on Pakistani territory and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir in response to a terrorist attack in the Pahalgam area of South Kashmir on April 22 that killed 26 people. These incidents led to the start of large-scale clashes between the two countries.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi dubbed the military operations "Operation Sindoor" and described it as a "moment of pride." According to the Hindi translation, "Sindoor" refers to the red henna applied to the foreheads of married Hindu women.

The two countries reached a ceasefire agreement on May 10, mediated by the United States.
