New Delhi: India reached out to several leading countries, including the US, Russia, the UK and Saudi Arabia, early Wednesday following Operation Sindoor. New Delhi has briefed these countries about the military strike it carried out on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, sources told NDTV.
The strikes, which have been confirmed by Pakistan, were carried out in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack.
“Senior Indian officials have spoken to their counterparts in a number of countries to brief them on the steps taken by India,” a source said, as quoted by NDTV.
“Among these are the US, the UK, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Russia,” it added further.
India’s actions came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack. The terror attack that had claimed lives of 26 tourists had triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad.
