India has every right to defend itself against cross-border terrorism from Pakistan: MEA

India has reaffirmed its right to defend itself against cross-border terrorism sponsored by Pakistan. This strong message comes on the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor. India conducted airstrikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir in response to a terror attack. The operation eliminated terrorists and led to a de-escalation of tensions. India remains committed to bolstering the global fight against terrorism.
