However, India clarified that it has only paused its operations and will decide its next move based on Pakistan’s actions. Officials stated that the sole purpose of the operation is to boost the morale of the armed forces, who responded strongly to the Pakistani drone attack. IAF commanders briefed Prime Minister Modi on the ongoing operation, including its logistics and preparations. According to official sources, PM Modi made this surprise visit without informing even the district’s civil and police administration.
