India has revealed the names of six armed forces personnel killed during the May 2025 military confrontation with Pakistan, nearly one year after the clashes took place.
The Indian government published the names on June 26, 2026, in the Roll of Honour section of the National War Memorial website.
The records identify the personnel as casualties of Operation Sindoor, the name India gave to its military action against Pakistan in May 2025.
The military confrontation began weeks after militants attacked tourists in Pahalgam, located in Indian Illegaly Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, in April 2025.
Nearly one month after the attack, India claimed that it had targeted suspected militant positions inside Pakistan.
New Delhi officially named the military campaign Operation Sindoor.
Pakistan responded with defensive and retaliatory military action. Islamabad called its operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos.
Both countries later claimed that they had caused significant damage to the other side.
Pakistan also claimed that its forces had destroyed several Indian fighter aircraft during the confrontation.
US President Donald Trump also repeatedly confirmed that Pakistan destroyed numerous Indian fighter jets.
Pakistan’s military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations, said on May 13, 2025, that 11 members of the Pakistani armed forces had embraced martyrdom during the conflict.
The martyrs included six personnel from the Pakistan Army and five from the Pakistan Air Force.
Pakistan publicly identified the martyred personnel. The government later awarded them military honours in August 2025.
India, however, did not officially publish a complete list of its military casualties at the time. In fact, India continuously denied any casualties during the May 2025 altercation with Pakistan.
On June 26, 2026, the Indian government identified six personnel who died during Operation Sindoor by adding their names to the National War Memorial’s Roll of Honour.
The personnel include:
The disclosure marks the first time the Indian government has officially linked the deaths of these personnel to Operation Sindoor.
The entries appeared almost a year after the military confrontation, which brought the two nuclear-armed neighbours close to a wider conflict.
