Pakistan realised that India meant business after its eight air bases were destroyed, and “sued for peace” by seeking a cessation of hostilities, government sources said on Sunday. There was no need for a third-party intervention and, in fact, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to convey that the Pakistanis got the message after being hammered by Indian missiles, they said.

The comments dilute US President Donald Trump’s claim that American mediation brought about peace, said the sources, pointing out that Trump is given to hyperbole.

Indian Navy, for the first time on Sunday, revealed the role naval forces played during Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians, mostly tourists, were killed. It said that the Navy’s deployment in the Arabian Sea during Operation Sindoor virtually forced the Pakistan Navy to remain in the harbour or near the coast.

Vice Admiral A.N. Pramod, Director General of Naval Operations, stated that the Indian Navy was fully prepared within 96 hours of the terror attack to execute strikes against Pakistan’s military installations during Operation Sindoor.

 In a massive diplomatic and military rebuke, India has exposed Pakistan’s duplicity after it violated a ceasefire agreement that was initiated by its own military leadership.

Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, India’s DGMO, revealed that the proposal to halt hostilities came directly from Pakistan on May 10. “My communication with the Pak DGMO was conducted at 15:35 hours yesterday (Saturday) and resulted in cessation of cross-border firing and air intrusions by either side with effect from 17:00 hrs, 10th of May, after he proposed that we cease hostilities,” Lt Gen Ghai stated during a press briefing on Sunday.

India’s border surveillance capabilities and national security are poised to get a game-changing boost with the launch of the all-weather Indian Space Research Organisation’s RISAT-1B radar imaging satellite, also known as EOS-09, from the Sriharikota space centre on May 18.

The RISAT-1B satellite is equipped with a state-of-the-art C-band synthetic aperture radar, which will enable it to capture high-resolution images of the Earth’s surface under adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, clouds, or at night. This is quite unlike optical camera satellites that struggle to record images when the weather turns bad or darkness sets in at night.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Sunday said it has successfully executed its assigned tasks in Operation Sindoor with precision and professionalism, and the operation was still ongoing. In a post on X, the IAF said the operations were conducted in accordance with the national objectives and urged all to refrain from speculation and dissemination of unverified information.

The government on Saturday said India has come to an understanding on the ceasefire and paused military action. Hours after India and Pakistan reached an understanding, Pakistani drones were sighted and intercepted in various locations. India said Pakistan violated the ceasefire, adding that the armed forces were giving an “adequate and appropriate response”.

Operation Sindoor is a success as it has brought Pakistan to its knees and helped India starkly expose the neighbouring country’s grooming of terror gangs and complicity in global terrorism. The operation was not just a tribute to the victims of terror or an act of vengeance for the deaths in Pahalgam – it is a symbol of the fight against terrorism that Pakistan has been unleashing not only in India but also across other countries.

The operation has revealed bitter truths about Pakistan – something that even the US operation to eliminate Osama Bin Laden could not fully expose, particularly the Pakistan Army’s role in nurturing terrorist groups. These gangs have unleashed terror in India for decades, killing hundreds of innocent civilians and causing the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir.
