Brigadier Mudit Mahajan, Poonch Brigade Commander today said that the Indian Army remains alert as the ‘Operation Sindoor’ is not over and “we will respond yet again not with words but fire and resolve of the nation if challenged again”.
Briefing media-persons in Poonch, Brigadier Mudit said “the Poonch Brigade was engaged in intense and continuous operations during ‘Operation Sindoor’ to blunt and respond to the unprovoked aggression by Pakistan across the Line of Control (LoC). We did not wait to react; we prepared to respond. To that extent, I will say that Poonch Brigade was not a part but the heart of Operation Sindoor”.
The Brigade Commander said that the “Pakistan sponsored terror strike at Pahalgam, was met with a calibrated response from the Indian Army, initially focusing solely on terrorist infrastructure. The Army struck with unmatched precision and purpose—six of nine critical terrorist targets struck were opposite Poonch, Rajouri and Akhnoor and these were neutralized effectively that night. Only when the Pakistan Army escalated by indiscriminately targeting civilian areas did Indian Army decisively shift to hitting their military assets”.
“As the enemy unleashed a new threat of drone swarms, it was the Army Air Defence that truly emerged as the shining shield—demonstrating exceptional skill, resilience, and cutting-edge coordination to intercept every aerial menace, safeguarding our troops and territory with unwavering vigilance and valor”, he said.
Brigadier Mudit added, “In sum, Pakistan Army losses were not just in numbers but in morale and initiative. Today they have lost their credibility before their own nation. So far, we have inputs of imposing heavy numbers in fatal and non-fatal casualties upon the enemy. The numbers are still adding up with each passing day as our intelligence agencies are on the job to corroborate and verify these inputs”.
