RANCHI: (Sep 19) Chief of Defence Staff, General Anil Chauhan, said Operation Sindoor heralded a “new kind of warfare”, and ensured that India beat Pakistan decisively in every escalation during the strike.

Unlike traditional warfare, this was fought on land, in air and sea, electromagnetic space and cyber domains, where the adversary was seen only through the help of satellite and electronic images or signal intelligence, he said.

The top military officer also said the first strikes during the operation were conducted at 1 am to avoid civilian casualties across the border.
