Mon May 12 16:20:00 UTC 2025: ## India Announces Suspension of “Operation Sindoor” After Devastating Strikes on Pakistan

**NEW DELHI** – Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Monday, May 12th, following India’s “Operation Sindoor,” a series of retaliatory strikes against Pakistan. Modi declared that India had inflicted significant damage on Pakistani air bases and terrorist infrastructure, leaving Pakistan scrambling for a de-escalation.

According to Modi, India’s drones and missiles achieved pinpoint accuracy, targeting high-value assets within Pakistan. The Prime Minister claimed that the three days of initial strikes caused far greater damage than Pakistan anticipated. He stated that Pakistan’s subsequent pleas for de-escalation, initiated through contact with India’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) on Saturday, May 10th, came only after Pakistan had suffered heavy losses. Modi emphasized that by the time the contact was made, India had already destroyed significant terrorist infrastructure and eliminated numerous militants.

Modi asserted that India had reduced Pakistani terrorist bases to rubble. He announced that India has only *suspended* Operation Sindoor, contingent on Pakistan’s future behavior. He warned that India will continue to monitor Pakistan closely and will resume operations if necessary. The Prime Minister reiterated India’s resolve to not tolerate any nuclear blackmail from Pakistan and its unwavering stance against terrorism emanating from Pakistani soil.
