New Delhi, May 13 — Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the nation at 8 p.m. tonight, marking his first public statement on Operation Sindoor, the Indian Armed Forces’ ongoing military campaign initiated on May 7. While the Prime Minister has previously spoken three times regarding the Pahalgam terror attack, tonight’s address will be his first focused commentary on the broader operation.
Earlier today, Air Marshal AK Bharti, Director General of Air Operations, provided an official briefing on the progress and scope of Operation Sindoor. He emphasized that India’s actions have been directed exclusively at terrorist elements and their support infrastructure, distancing the mission from any direct confrontation with Pakistan’s military.
“Our objective is clear and precise — the elimination of terror threats and their facilitators,” Air Marshal Bharti stated. He presented operational footage demonstrating the targeted destruction of Pakistani ordnance, attributing any collateral damage involving Pakistani military assets to their own decision to engage.
In a significant diplomatic development, the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan are set to engage in dialogue at 5 p.m. today. The talks aim to reinforce the bilateral understanding reached on May 10, potentially paving the way for further de-escalation.
Meanwhile, the Srinagar airport—which had been closed amid heightened tensions—has now reopened, with full flight operations scheduled to resume on Tuesday, May 13, signaling a gradual return to normalcy in parts of the region.
In related news, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah met on Monday with the bereaved family of two children killed in cross-border shelling in Poonch. The visit comes amid growing civilian concerns over the humanitarian impact of the ongoing conflict.
Prime Minister Modi’s address is expected to outline India’s position on the current security landscape, reaffirm its stance against terrorism, and clarify the scope of future military and diplomatic engagements.
