“We are fighting terrorists, the Pakistani army chooses to intervene,” said Marshal Ak Bharti
Air Marshal Ak Bharti said: “…It’s a pity that the Pakistani military chose to intervene and terrorists, so we chose to respond…”
Marshal Aik Ak Bharti said on Monday that the purpose of the operation Sindor is to target terrorists, not to interact with Pakistani military or Pakistani civilians. Marshal Balti said at a press conference: “Our battle with terrorists, our battle is not a battle with Pakistani military or Pakistani civilians, so it’s obvious. Our goal is very clear.”
The Air Marshal stressed that the Indian armed forces demonstrated their effectiveness through precise strikes in their operations.
“Our anti-systems and well-trained air defense operators have full capabilities, and our country’s indigenous capabilities have proven its effectiveness. It has been proven that no matter what technology appears, we are ready to fight.
Air Ak Bharti emphasizes the evolving nature of modern warfare, saying that future conflicts will differ greatly from previous engagements and emphasizes the importance of staying ahead of opponents on a changing battlefield.
He said: “This is another kind of war, and it will definitely happen. God forbids it, but if we fight another war, it will be completely different from this war. It’s a game of cats and mouse, and we need to be ahead of the curve to beat our opponents.”
When asked if India had attacked Kirana Hills, Ak Bharti’s air marshal replied: “Thank you for telling us that Kirana Hills has some nuclear devices that we don’t know.

Meanwhile, the Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor in the early morning of May 7, targeting nine terrorist sites in Pakistan, where Pakistan occupied Jamu and Kashmir (POK). The operation is a retaliatory response to the April 22 terrorist attacks in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which included 26 civilians, including a Nepali national, were killed.
Foreign Minister Vikram Misri confirmed on Saturday that the Director-General of Pakistan’s Military Operations was in contact with his Indian counterparts. Both sides agreed to cease all military operations on land, sea and air starting from 5 p.m. Misri noted that directives have been issued to implement a ceasefire and another round of DGMO-level talks are scheduled to take place at noon on May 12. However, hours after the two countries agreed to stop all military operations on land, air and oceans, reports were reported that Pakistan violated the cessation of hostilities, while India intercepted Pakistan’s drones amid a power outage in Srinagar.
Seeing the red stripes, the explosion was heard when India’s air defense intercepted Pakistani drone amid the power outage in Udempur. There were also power outages in Pathankot and Ferozepur in Punjab, Jaisalmer and Barmer in Rajasthan. Foreign Minister Vikram Misri said in a special briefing that India “has very serious about these violations”. India calls on Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and to handle the situation seriously and accountably.
