Targets selected to break backbone of terror: Misri

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that the action was based on ‘credible intel’ and aimed to ‘break the backbone of terrorism’.

Vikram Misri said this on Wednesday while addressing a press briefing on 'Operation Sindoor' - the tri-service counter-offensive that saw coordinated strikes on nine places across Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

In a powerful display, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi joined Misri in leading the briefing, reports India Today.

The two senior women officers detailed how the precision strikes, which are believed to have eliminated over 80 people, were executed within a span of just 25 minutes.
