The Pakistani military lost over 100 soldiers along the Line of Control and 12 aircraft during ‘Operation Sindoor in May, said Indian Army’s Director General Military Operations Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai on Tuesday.

Lt Gen Ghai cited a list of awards conferred posthumously by the Pakistani military, echoing the details shared by Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal AP Singh a few days ago.

He shared certain details of the May 7 to 10 hostilities, saying Pakistan had resorted to cross-border firing immediately after India pounded nine terror targets on May 7.

“Pakistanis possibly unwittingly let out their awards list last month on the 14th of August, and the number of posthumous awards that they awarded suggests to us now that their casualties on the LoC were also in excess of 100," Lt Gen Ghai said. “We went after terrorists, and once that had been achieved, it wasn’t our intention to escalate it unless compelled to do so. There was also cross-border firing by Pakistan immediately once the terror targets were engaged."

The DGMO said the Indian Navy was fully ready to play its part and if Pakistan had decided to continue with the hostilities any further, it could have been “catastrophic for it, not only from the sea but from other dimensions as well".
