"Modi was referring to the four-day conflict between the two nations, with its focus on Indian-administered Kashmir, in May, following an attack that killed 22 tourists that India blamed on Pakistan, an accusation that Islamabad vehemently denies. During the conflict, Modi announced Operation Sindoor as a response to the attack, which heightened tensions and led to retaliation from Pakistan. The short conflict killed more than 70 people in missile and drone attacks, with both sides claiming victory."
"In June, an Indian naval officer conceded that the country lost several fighter jets to Pakistani fire during their conflict in May and said the losses were a result of constraints placed on Indian forces by the government in New Delhi. India and Pakistan traded other slights after Indian cricket players refused to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts in the final of the Asia Cup, as tensions between the two countries remain heavily strained."
"#OperationSindoor on the games field. Outcome is the same India wins! Congrats to our cricketers, Modi posted on X on Monday."
Narendra Modi invoked Operation Sindoor to liken India’s Asia Cup final win over Pakistan to the May military confrontation. The May clash focused on Indian-administered Kashmir after an attack that killed 22 tourists, which India blamed on Pakistan and Islamabad denies. Operation Sindoor was announced during the four-day conflict and triggered missile and drone exchanges that killed more than 70 people, with both sides claiming success. An Indian naval officer later conceded fighter-jet losses to Pakistani fire and attributed them to constraints on Indian forces. Indian players refused handshakes and declined the trophy amid strained relations.
