SHOTLIST: NEW DELHI, INDIA (MAY 7, 2025) (INDIAN MINISTRY OF DEFENCE - RESTRICTED) 1. VARIOUS OF INDIAN MINISTRY OF DEFENSE, RAJNATH SINGH DELIVERING SPEECH (Hindi)NEW DELHI, INDIA - MAY 7 - RESTRICTION: USERS MUST CREDIT “INDIAN MINISTRY OF DEFENCE” HANDOUT, MUST NOT OBSCURE LOGO - EDITORIAL USE ONLY: India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh held a press conference in the capital, New Delhi on Wednesday, May 7, in response to growing tensions with neighboring Pakistan. Singh announced that India conducted "Operation Sindoor" in response to "terrorist threats," targeting Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and claimed "no civilian population was affected" during the operation as it was aimed solely at dismantling "terrorist infrastructure." However, Pakistan’s military confirmed that at least 26 people were killed and 46 others injured in Indian missile strikes into its territory and cross-border firing along the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border between the two countries. The escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors comes in the wake of the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir in which 26 people were killed. India blamed Pakistan for the attack, claiming there were cross-border links. Pakistan has denied involvement. Indian officials said New Delhi exercised its “right to respond and preempt as well as deter more such cross-border attacks.” Pakistan on Wednesday claimed it destroyed five Indian fighter aircraft while defending its "territorial integrity," adding that it “reserves the right to respond.”
