New Delhi, May 12 : Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan held talks on Monday evening.
Sources told the news agency that “the DGMOs discussed issues relating to continuing the commitment that both sides must not fire a single shot or initiate any aggressive or inimical action against each other.”
“It was also agreed that both sides will consider immediate measures to ensure troop reduction from the borders and forward areas,” sources added.
Earlier addressing a joint press conference in New Delhi, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai (Army), Air Marshal AK Bharti (Indian Air Force), and Vice Admiral AN Pramod (Navy) , according to KNO said, “India’s fight was and will always be aimed at terrorists and terrorists’ infrastructure in Pakistan, and not against the country’s army or civilians.”
The top military commanders said India’s air defense grid—featuring a layered, integrated command and control system operated by the Indian Air Force—successfully repelled multiple aerial threats over the past week.
“Pakistani attempts to strike Indian forward positions on May 9 and 10 were entirely foiled,” they added.
“Not a single enemy aircraft could breach our multi-tier defense system,” Air Marshal Bharti asserted, adding that “our pilots, drones, helicopters, and air defense systems operated seamlessly both day and night to protect vital assets.”
They confirmed the successful downing of several enemy drones and loitering munitions, including Turkish-origin UAVs that attempted incursions.
Vice Admiral AN Pramod emphasized the role of the Indian Navy in ensuring maritime security, confirming that Indian naval air defense systems and fleet patrols remained alert and active.
“If needed, we have the capability to strike at will across maritime or land-based targets. Pakistan could not threaten us during maritime operations either,” he said, as per KNO.
Officials confirmed that offensive operations were carried out across “the length and breadth of enemy territory,” including high-impact strikes near Nur Khan Air Base and Rambhayr. These precision attacks were aimed at disrupting terrorist command hubs and logistics networks.
They praised the perfect synergy between the Army, Air Force, Navy, Border Security Force, and intelligence units during recent operations. “From the DG to the last jawan, the BSF played a vital role in securing the borders,” said Lieutenant General Ghai.
He also acknowledged the unwavering support from the Indian government and the collective will of India’s 140 crore citizens. “This is not just a military effort. Every domain—air, land, sea, and cyber—is involved, and every Indian stands behind the forces,” the commanders said.
Responding to reports from across the border, the Indian military dismissed Pakistani claims that a terror leader reportedly killed in a targeted strike, was still alive. “They will say whatever it takes to manage their internal narrative. But facts speak louder. Our fight is not with Pakistan’s people—it is with the terrorists they shelter,” Air Marshal Bharti said.
In a symbolic gesture, he also quoted a Hindi poem to reaffirm India’s resilience and self-reliance, adding that indigenous systems were fully capable of countering modern threats, including drone swarms and cyber warfare.
The military commanders said that while India remains open to dialogue through DGMO-level talks, its forces are “ready for the next mission—anytime, anywhere.”
“Every war is different. What matters is staying ahead of your adversary. We were ready, and we remain ready,” they added
