Q1Match the elements of the Government's description of Operation Sindoor with their correct meanings: List I 1. Nature of the campaign 2. Purpose of the campaign 3. Geographic reach List II (a) To dismantle terror infrastructure (b) Across the Line of Control and deeper inside Pakistan (c) Punitive and targeted Which matching is correct?
The Government described Operation Sindoor as a punitive and targeted campaign, so the nature of the campaign matches that phrase. Its purpose was to dismantle terror infrastructure. Its geographic reach was across the Line of Control and deeper inside Pakistan. Any matching that treats geography as the nature of the campaign or treats dismantling infrastructure as the geographic reach misreads the official description.
Q2With reference to India's response described in the MEA special briefing of 9 May 2025 on Operation Sindoor, consider the following statements: 1. India launched armed drones at four Pakistani air-defence sites. 2. One Indian drone destroyed an air-defence radar. 3. The response was described as a missile strike on four naval facilities. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because the briefing said India launched armed drones at four Pakistani air-defence sites. Statement 2 is correct because one drone destroyed an air-defence radar. Statement 3 is wrong because the cited fact concerns armed drones and air-defence sites, not missile strikes on naval facilities.
Q3According to the MEA special briefing of 9 May 2025 on Operation Sindoor, preliminary forensic reports suggested that recovered drone debris belonged to which drone system?
The MEA briefing cited preliminary forensic reports linking the recovered debris to ASISGUARD SONGAR drones of Turkey. Bayraktar TB2 is another Turkish drone family, but it was not the system named in this briefing. CH-4 is associated with China, and Shahed-136 with Iran, so neither matches the cited forensic identification.
Q4Assertion (A): During Operation Sindoor, BSF troops thwarted an infiltration attempt along the International Border in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir and neutralised at least two infiltrators. Reason (R): The cited PIB account places the incident along the Line of Control in Rajouri district and records no neutralisation. Select the correct answer.
The Assertion is true because the assigned fact states that BSF troops thwarted an infiltration attempt along the International Border in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir and neutralised at least two infiltrators. The Reason is false because it shifts the location to the Line of Control in Rajouri district and denies the stated neutralisation.
Q5With reference to the PIB account after the May 10 ceasefire understanding during Operation Sindoor, consider the following statements: 1. UAVs and small drones intruded into Indian civilian and military areas. 2. The intruding UAVs and small drones were successfully intercepted. 3. PIB described these intrusions as occurring only over maritime zones. Which statements are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because PIB stated that UAVs and small drones intruded into Indian civilian and military areas after the May 10 ceasefire understanding. Statement 2 is correct because those intrusions were successfully intercepted. Statement 3 is wrong because the sourced fact refers to civilian and military areas, not only maritime zones.
