India's precision strikes against 9 terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir which killed about 100 terrorists, codenamed Operation Sindoor, has set a new normal against terrorism, said prime minister Narendra Modi on Monday night.

The name for the military attack on Pakistan brings to mind a woman who became shorthand for the grief wrought by a terrorist attack.

Prime Minister Modi in his first address to the nation after Operation Sindoor said while Pakistan pleaded with India to stop the military offensive, New Delhi considered it only after they promised to stop their misadventure.
