BSF Releases BRUTAL Operation Sindoor Footage | PAK Terror Launch Pads ANNIHILATED In Attack

In a bold response under Operation Sindoor, the BSF struck terror launchpads reportedly used by Pakistani Rangers to infiltrate terrorists. BSF IG Jammu Shashank Anand confirmed that women personnel were deployed at forward posts, with Assistant Commandant Neha Bhandari leading a frontline team. Brave constables including Manjit Kaur, Malkit Kaur, Jyoti, Sampa, and Swapna fought with valor. In Pakistan’s drone and shelling retaliation, India lost Sub-Inspector Mohammad Imtiyaz, Constable Deepak Kumar, and Naik Sunil Kumar. BSF will honor the fallen by naming posts after them—including one to be called ‘Sindoor’. #OperationSindoor #BSF #WomenInCombat #IndiaPakistan #TerrorLaunchpads #PakShelling #DroneAttack #BSFBravery #NehaBhandari #BorderSecurityForce #IndianArmy #KargilSpirit #IndiaFightsBack #SindoorPost #FrontlineHeroes #MartyrsOfIndia #PakistanInfiltration #LOCUpdates #JammuAndKashmir #NaikSunilKumar #MohammadImtiyaz #DeepakKumar #IndianDefence #WomenWarriors #BSFWomen #CounterTerror #IndiaSecurityForces #BSFNews #IndoPakTensions #TerrorInfiltration Also Read After 21 Days, Pakistan Hands Over BSF Jawan To India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/after-22-days-pakistan-hands-over-bsf-jawan-to-india-4152863.html?ref=DMDesc BSF Constable Detained By Pakistan, His Wife Leaves For Pathankot To Seek Commanding Officer's Response :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/bsf-constable-detained-by-pakistan-his-wife-leaves-for-pathankot-to-seek-commanding-officers-respo-4137521.html?ref=DMDesc India Announces Closure Of Wagah-Attari Border: Know Its Historical, Trade and Geographical Importance :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-announces-to-close-wagah-attari-border-know-its-historical-trade-and-geographical-importanc-4133007.html?ref=DMDesc

‘In Matter of MONTHS...’ | IAEA Chief Drops BOMBSHELL on Iran’s Nuclear Uranium Enrichment Plans [Video]

‘In Matter of MONTHS...’ | IAEA Chief Drops BOMBSHELL on Iran’s Nuclear Uranium Enrichment Plans

IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi has warned that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, despite recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites. Grossi emphasized that Iran’s expertise and infrastructure remain largely intact. Satellite images of Fordow show signs of possible reconstruction, contradicting Trump’s claim that Iran’s program was “totally obliterated.” The IAEA says damage was significant but not crippling. With Tehran cutting off cooperation with the UN watchdog, concerns are rising over Iran’s next nuclear move. #IranNuclearCrisis #IAEA #RafaelGrossi #Fordow #UraniumEnrichment #TrumpIranPolicy #NuclearTensions #IAEAWarns #IranStrikesBack #MiddleEastCrisis #USIranConflict #FordowFacility #BreakingNews #SatelliteImages #MaxarTechnologies #UNWatchdog #NuclearRestart #IranNuclearProgram #NuclearThreat #NuclearDealCollapse #Tehran #IranUpdate #StealthBomberStrike #TrumpClaims #IranianCentrifuges #NonProliferation #IranSanctions #GlobalSecurity #WeaponsOfMassDestruction #IAEALatest #IranFordowRepair Also Read IAEA Junks Rumours Of Radiation Leak From Any Nuclear Facility In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iaea-junks-rumours-of-radiation-leak-from-any-nuclear-facility-in-pakistan-4153965.html?ref=DMDesc UN Nuclear Watchdog Chief Rafael Grossi to Visit Moscow Over Ukraine's Nuclear Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-nuclear-watchdog-chief-visit-moscow-ukraine-nuclear-safety-011-4062419.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack Elevates Nuclear Accident Risk At Zaporizhzhia, Says IAEA Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drone-attack-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-risks-011-3794213.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.124~
