Director General of Military Operations of the Indian Army, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, is scheduled to talk to his Pakistani counterpart today. They will discuss the modalities that would enable the longevity of the understanding reached to cease the hostilities. LT Gen Ghai informed them while briefing them on Operation Sindoor last evening.

Lt Gen Ghai said that strikes across nine terror hubs in Pakistan and PoJK under Operation Sindoor killed over 100 terrorists. The DGMO said they include high-value targets such as Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf and Mudasir Ahmed, who were involved in the hijack of IC814 and the Pulwama blast. He stated that Operation Sindoor was conceptualised with a clear military aim to punish the perpetrators and planners of terror and to destroy their terror infrastructure.

Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said that the Pakistan Army is reported to have lost nearly 35 to 40 personnel in artillery and small arms firing on the Line of Control between 7th and 10th May.

Director General Naval Operations, Vice Admiral A N Pramod, said that our forces remained forward deployed in the Northern Arabian Sea in a decisive and deterrent posture with full readiness and capacity to strike select targets at sea and on land, including Karachi, at a time of choosing.
