• Operation Sindoor — Indian Armed Forces' tri-services precision strike on 9 terrorist camps in Pakistan & PoK on the night of 6–7 May 2025, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack of 22 April 2025.
• Shaurya event — held in New Delhi on 2 May 2026 in run-up to the first anniversary of Op Sindoor; addressed by Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh.
