On May 7, 2026, the Indian Air Force (IAF) released an 88-second video to mark the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, which was launched in response to the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. The footage showcases the scale and precision of the operation, which targeted nine locations in Pakistan, including Sawai Nala and Bahawalpur, to dismantle terrorist infrastructure linked to the attack. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is featured in the video, asserting that India will hold terrorists and their supporters accountable. The operation, which involved the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy, was one of the most extensive precision strike missions since the Balakot airstrike in 2019. Following the operation, tensions escalated with cross-border shelling between India and Pakistan, but by May 10, 2025, both nations reached an understanding to halt active military operations, marking a significant moment in India's counter-terrorism efforts.
