Operation Sindoor remains ongoing, and any misadventure by the adversary will be dealt with effectively, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said on Tuesday (January 13, 2026), issuing a firm warning to Pakistan.
The Army Chief said that the anti-terrorism operation had sent a strong deterrent message by successfully destroying seven of the nine identified targets and puncturing the long-standing nuclear rhetoric of the adversary.
