Operation Sindoor Shockwaves: China Jumps In After India Pounds Pakistan, Claims Ceasefire Credit

Operation Sindoor marked India’s ferocious response to the Pahalgam terror attack, crippling Pakistan-backed terror infrastructure within days. Precision strikes left deep damage across key Pakistani assets, bringing Islamabad under intense pressure. Months later, global powers are competing to claim credit for the May India-Pakistan ceasefire. After US President Donald Trump, China has now asserted it played a role in mediating the truce. India has firmly rejected any third-party involvement, maintaining the issue is strictly bilateral. The Congress has questioned the government over China’s claim, seeking clarity. India maintains that Operation Sindoor eliminated over 100 terrorists and struck major Pakistani airbases, including Nur Khan in Rawalpindi.
