AHMEDABAD: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday called Operation Sindoor not just a military action but an expression of Indian values and spirit, underlining that those harboring terrorists could not have imagined even in their dreams how difficult it would be to face his resolve.

Modi, who arrived in his home state of Gujarat for the first time since Operation Sindoor was launched and on the 11th anniversary of taking office as the prime minister in 2014, said he gave the armed forces complete freedom. "...our valiant soldiers achieved a feat unseen by the world in decades. We pinpointed and confirmed the locations of nine major terrorist camps across the border," he said in Gujarat's Dahod, referring to the May 7 strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

The strikes in retaliation for the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam sparked a series of attacks and counter-attacks. The military hostilities ended on May 10 as New Delhi and Islamabad reached an understanding after a four-day fight.
