RANCHI: Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Thursday said Operation Sindoor heralded a "new kind of warfare" driven by technology, in which India decisively beat Pakistan in every escalation, reports Sanjay Sahay.
Interacting with schoolchildren in Jharkhand on the theme 'Operation Sindoor: Bacchon Se Samvad (dialogue with children)' in Ranchi, Gen Chauhan said the strikes were carried out at night - between 1am and 1.30am - with the intent to avoid civilian casualties , and this was possible because of technological sophistication and dominance.
"The ideal time would be around 5am. But, by then, the morning 'azaan' starts, and people could lose their lives in places like Bahawalpur and Muridke," he said, adding that day and timing were chosen after studying air operations on the Pakistani side. Precision strikes at long-distance targets during the night required special efforts, the CDS said, emphasising the "sohhistication of our attack".
