'Best time would have been 6 am': Why India carried out Operation Sindoor at midnight - CDS General Anil Chauhan reveals

General Anil Chauhan revealed that Operation Sindoor strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir were deliberately conducted at night to minimize civilian casualties. The timing, between 1:00 and 1:30 AM, was chosen to avoid the morning azaan and potential civilian movement in areas like Bahawalpur and Muridke.
