Days after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Punjab’s Adampur air base on Tuesday and spoke with soldiers.
During the intervening night of May 9 and 10, after India’s “Operation Sindoor,” Pakistan tried to target various air force installations, including Adampur. India’s S-400 air defense system near Adampur was destroyed by Pakistan’s hypersonic missiles launched from JF-17 fighter jets, a fact denied by Indian officials.
“I met AFS Adampur early this morning and interacted with our brave soldiers and air warriors. It was a very unique experience to spend time with people who personify courage, resilience, and gallantry. PM Modi posted on X, “India is forever indebted to our armed forces for all that they do for our country,” accompanied by photos of them.”.

After a successful “Operation Sindoor” that was launched on May 7 in the wake of the lethal terror strike in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, last month, the Prime Minister praised the country’s armed forces the day before he visited the Air Force base.
In his speech on Monday, Prime Minister Modi stated that the Indian armed forces had demonstrated “unwavering courage” in achieving the objectives of the operations, including targeting nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and eliminating more than 100 terrorists.
PM Modi stated, “Operation Sindoor has created a ‘new normal’ in counter-terrorism initiatives and is now India’s proven policy against terrorism, having brought a decisive change in India’s strategic approach.”
The world once again witnessed Pakistan’s “ugly face” in the course of “Operation Sindoor,” he further added, when the senior Pakistani military leaders attended terrorists’ funeral services, considering it “strong evidence” of state-sponsored terrorism.
The Indian army initiated “Operation Sindoor” following the detection of cross-border links to the April 22 attack that killed 26 people. The operation targeted various terror outfits’ camps, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen.
In response, the Pakistani Army launched missiles and drones at western India, but they were shot down. Then, far inside Pakistani territory, India attacked targeted military targets.
After four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes, the two countries agreed last Saturday to a ceasefire that would bring an immediate halt to hostilities.
